I am very much of a feeler. I feel people’s emotions, their actions, and an emotional bond is the most important one for me.
In our stressful times, it can be hard to focus on the greatest things in life, and we can slip into the mindset of negativity. It’s so easy to be negative and pessimistic. When your mind is plagued with these thoughts, these thoughts can eventually become your lifestyle. It can happen so abruptly, like a car slamming on its breaks for a deer crossing. Sometimes you don’t even realize this is happening though.
In life, the best way to keep a fresh mind is to keep out negative thoughts and negative people. Surrounding yourself with negative people is the seed for catastrophe. Whether you like it or not, the people you spend most of your time around rub off on you. You pick up their habits and sayings. They also pick up yours. That’s why it’s important to treat people the way you’d like to be treated. In a circle of friends, you’ll all eventually start picking up a good vibe or a bad vibe.
A very important question is to ask yourself… how do you feel after hanging out with them? If you feel sad, drained, or even a little bit irritated, this is a good indicator that these people are negative seeds. Like I said earlier, if you keep watering these negative seeds with your attention, they will bloom into a hard-to-uproot weed in your life. Once this happens, you will feel sort of lost. It’ll be hard to keep a focused mindset if you are lost in the sea of someone else’s negativity.
I’ll tell you what it’s like to surround yourself with positive people. After hanging out with them a lot, you’ll feel more positive. You will feel like you have things in order. Besides, positive people will lift you up in your workplace, school, and even at home! They will be people who cheer you up no matter what, and people who are an overall good influence. Good influences are essential for the roadmap to success, because you will have people at your side cheering you on, not in front of you holding you back. They will help you make the most beneficial decisions in your life.
By making this post I am not saying you have to be fantastic sunshine and rainbows 24/7 to have a stable career or life. People have their ups and downs in life, that’s okay, as long as you don’t stay down. Ways to lift yourself back up from a negative rut is to make sure your friends are positive seeds. They will flourish along with you, and grow into beautiful flower of success! The people you hang around with have a major impact in your life, whether it feels that way or not!
