HOW CAN WE OVERCOME NEGATIVITY FROM OUR SOCIETY?

“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
Anais Nin

It starts with just a thought or a feeling. Or maybe with a sentence spoken by someone else.

And then it starts to drag you down.

Into feeling sorry for yourself, worried or into thinking “what’s the point of taking any action at all?” as you walk around in a funk with your own personal rain cloud above your head.

Negativity that wells up inside of you or in the world around you can quickly become toxic and hold you back from living the life you want.

When you’re in what seems like a negative situation, find what’s good or helpful.

If you’ve had a setback, stumbled or failed then things might look bleak and so negative thoughts may start to crop up and threaten to fill your view of this situation.

To counteract that ask yourself better questions.

Questions that will help you to feel better but also to learn so you can grow.

Questions like:

§  What’s one good thing about this situation?

§  What’s one thing I can do differently the next time to likely have a better outcome?

§  What’s one thing I can learn from this?

§  How would my best friend support and help me in this situation?
