Do you struggle to stay positive around negative people? Have you been focusing on trying to be more positive, but are surrounded by negative people and don’t know what to do. Well, this post is for you as I will be sharing how to stay positive when you are surrounded by negative people.
1 – Start your day off positively
Regardless of the people, you have to meet in your day, hopefully, when you wake up you are alone or only surrounded with positive people. Use the morning to increase your level of positivity. Maybe that means singing along to your favourite song, have a wonderful breakfast or doing a workout. Just do something that makes you happy and put you in a positive state.
2 – Take a moment to breathe and re-centre
Sometimes when you are surrounded by negativity it is easy to want to retaliate or get sucked in, but in most cases, it won’t do you any good. Instead, take a moment to take a few slow breathes in and out and with ever in breath think of breathing in positivity and with ever out breath think about breathing out the negativity.
3 – Remove yourself from negative conversations
Just because you are surrounded by negative people doesn’t mean you have to engage in their negative conversations. Feel free that if a conversation is turning negative to ask to change the topic or to remove yourself from the person/group.
4 – Create a positive vibes phone screensaver
If you are like most people then you have your phone with you most of the time so why not use to increase your positivity? Create a screensaver with images and words that automatically will light you up and fill you with positive vibes.
5 – Listen to positive music, podcasts or audiobooks
Just because you are surrounded by negative people doesn’t mean that you have to listen to them. This tip is especially good for those who are in a negative environment that you don’t necessarily have to be interacting with. Stick your headphones in and listen to something that is spreading a positive message.
