You’ve got to re-align your thoughts today.
Thinking to the Extremes
The belief that something or people must be extremely bad because they failed, not perfect, or made mistakes. That’s not always the case; always give others the benefit of doubt. It’s also a way to free your mind of negativity.
Settling for Disasters
Just as the name implies, this is about accepting that disaster is inescapable. You never believe you could pull through any situation. Just because you fell off the swing yesterday does not mean you will today. It’s a mind game. Consciously make positive confessions asserting your success. Nothing can stop a man who is ready to talk his way to success.
Fault-finding
Ever had this constant feeling of distrust for people and their motives? You quickly find faults with people, and because of that, you find it hard to work with them effectively.
Or it can even be that you always expect people to flop in their given task. That is an attitude of negativity. Try not to be critical of people.
Always Antagonistic
Are you unfriendly towards people? Whenever friends or colleagues try coming close to you, you attack them like a dog attacks chickens. People find it difficult to relate to you. They avoid you because you spread negative energy around. Most times, that attitude isn’t deliberate. You act like that because your mind interprets other people’s actions as an attack on your person. Make it good today by consciously arresting your mind when he wants to throw those tantrums. Make him see the positivity in others. You can’t attract what you attack!
Intentionally practice developing positive relationships with people, and negativity will go away.
Making Rash Conclusions
Do you often catch yourself concluding so fast on people, even your friends? For example, you requested money from a friend, and they weren’t prepared at the moment to give it out; then you quickly conclude they are stingy. It could even be that a friend wouldn’t visit when you were ill, meaning they hate you, right? Learn to trust people. Do not be quick to conclude on negativity; throw that energy on positivity.
Taking Things Too Personal
You feel others do certain just things to get at you. For example, your friend knew you were coming and cooked her favorite meal, not knowing you won’t like the meal. And you conclude she did it intentionally to keep you hungry.
Do not take everything too personally. Understand that everything happening around is not all about you. Sometimes, deliberately refuse to accept the thought that people or your friends want to hurt your feelings.
Final Words on Negativity Attracts Negativity
Negativity begets negativity. Turn your back on those habits, friends, people, or environments that fuel negativity in your life. Deliberately reframe your thoughts towards positivity. There is always a positive side to every unpleasant experience. Look for it and stay there the moment you find it.
