Ideally, I'd love you to avoid negative people altogether, however, I know this isn't always possible. Sometimes that negative person in your life is someone you really love and you don't want to stop seeing them, or it might be someone that you have to see regularly because of work...
Here are a few of tips to help.
- Accept people for who they are - You may not like it, but just give it a go.
- Focus on the positives - You may need to get creative but I'm sure you can do it.
- When people are talking in a negative way, simply remind yourself, "That's not my truth" and focus on positives.
Also, be sure to focus on you first. Whatever is going on around you, it's your job t keep yourself as positive as possible.
Imagine you are on a giant ladder. The bottom of the ladder is negative and the top is positive. If you're higher up the ladder than the person you are talking to, stay there and hope they will join you.
If the person you're talking too is higher than you, get climbing.
Have a great day.
