How To Keep Away from Negative Individuals

By Hal Neff


There is the classic saying, "Birds of a feather flock together. " The thought behind this is we usually be like the people we hang out with.

If you are around "cannot, should not, and do not" individuals, then you'll constantly be frustrated and disheartened. Instead, surround yourself with visionaries and those who can inspire and motivate you so you can, should, and do take action.

* Following your instinct can be an effective technique of filtering out negative individuals early on upon meeting them.

Here are some body language signs to look out for when you meet new individuals:

* A sick or unpleasant sensation forms in the pit of your stomach.

* The hair around the back of your neck stands on end.

* Your skin crawls and you also feel jumpy and adverse to touch.

* Your shoulder muscles knot up and your throat and chest constrict.

* You experience a sense of pressure, anxiety, or darkness.

* You feel physically, mentally, or emotionally drained after meeting the individual.

These indications may be your body's means of showing you to stay clear of this person. You can get away from their presence feeling depressed and discouraged because all you've heard is complaining.

Naturally, this sucks the energy right out of you, but you can learn to read these signs initially and you'll save yourself from getting involved with a negative individual. These individuals are toxic and will pollute your mind with their negativity.

Seek Out People with Optimistic Attitudes

Sometimes you may tell somebody is positive just by their outward appearance or the way they carry out themselves. Walking confidently with their head up or even smiling are indications that the person is in an optimistic mood.

Some other signs of a positive person are more intuitive, such as:

*You have a sense of familiarity - as if you've known the individual for a long time.

* You really feel relaxed, calm, and safe.

* You breathe easier.

* You lean forward rather than crossing your arms defensively and extracting.

* You are comfortable with the other person's touch (hug, handshake, etc.).

* You leave their presence feeling energized and alive.

Just like negative people release a negative energy, positive individuals have positive energy. These people are nourishing and supportive. Your body can pick up on this and warn you or inspire you depending on the situation.

How can we go about finding these optimistic people we wish to associate with? Most of the above reactions are simply felt in our day-to-day interactions.

However , there are proactive actions we might take to align ourselves with optimistic individuals:

* Locate a local neighborhood event, club, or group where people challenge themselves and encourage their members to become better individuals. They are going to help you set targets for yourself and then obtain them.

* Take part in online forums or arrange your own positive mentoring group. At times it is impossible to totally keep away from certain negative individuals (perhaps a boss or family member), but you could limit your relationship with them and look for positive role models somewhere else.

* Use your optimistic support system to avoid the negative individuals in your life from getting the best of you. Rely on your family or friends when you really need to vent to eliminate your negative emotions.

The choices you create in life are yours alone. It is completely within your capacity to select who you are friendly with and whether you would like to live a happy life or be miserable.

If you feel too much negativity, take control of your life and create some changes to get rid of the negative sources. This will probably take some time but building these changes will help better your daily disposition and remind you that good things are ahead.
