Free Yourself from Negative People

Free Yourself from Negative People

 

The world is full of negativity; from an unhealthy family member to a bully that never lets you 'off the hook'. They never seem to build you up and always tend to drag you down. I am not talking about the occasional bad day that we all encounter. We go through days where it is necessary to let all that negativity out. Everyone has their rough patches. The type of  negativity that tends to drag us down and effects our progression is the continual negativity from others.

If someone's toxicity is affecting your daily living, your goals, and your soul, it is time to do  something different. A simple yet challenging choice: free yourself of those negative people. That might not come so easy if that individual is a close relative or even a best friend. In the case of someone you care deeply about there is another route one may consider in order to preserve that relationship.

Let’s take a closer look at what you can do with a negative person you share a deep relationship with. Obviously, simply cutting them loose out of your life may not be able to happen; at least right a way. The first step would be to sit down and explain to them ]how you feel about their attitude. Let them know how it is causing you hurt and bringing you down emotionally. Forgive them for the negativity, they many not realize how discouraging they are being. Help them understand. Hopefully that person cares enough about you, they will understand where you are coming from and will make the decision to work on bettering themselves as well as their attitude towards you.

In this instance, set up a little bit of an emotional barrier. Do not cut them loose but more so protect yourself from further being affected from their negative personality. Keep an eye out for the good changes and help them reach a better spot. However, some people will not step out of the negativity and may continue to drag you down; that is when the next option comes in.

Give them blessings and release. The next best thing to do when someone is taxing your everyday life, is to cut them out. Free yourself from these toxic people. Easier said than done, right? We are all so worried about what someone will say or do if we decide we cannot move forward with them around us. We don’t want to hurt others, at least I don’t! When it comes to your health, your life, your success, and your goals, there may be no other option other than letting them go. So simply wish them the best and release that person from your circle. It may take time, it may be a hard and heavy decision for you, but if the first option of giving them a chance doesn’t work then what’s best for you is to weed those people out.

So remember these things:

1. Communicate with the person if he/she is worth the relationship.

2. Set up a small barrier (a probation period, if you will), give them a chance, watch for any good, bad or no change.

3. Wish the best and release.
