How to Stay Positive In A Negative World

It seems like everywhere you turn today, all you find is negativity. It's on the news, in the papers, in the world, in the people around you. We are constantly bombarded by it. As a Lightworker and/or holistic practitioner, it is your mission to bring peace and love to the world. It's obvious that it will be extremely difficult for you to do that if soak up all of the negativity around you, so here are some ways to stay positive. 1. Avoidance Avoid watching the TV news and reading the papers. Turn off and tune out all of the images of war and violence and crime. You already know it's out there; you don't need to watch it over and over every single day. Instead, focus your energy on sending healing and peaceful light to those areas of the world. Limit your time with people you know are always negative. I'm referring to people who always whine and complain about everything and everyone; not those who come to you for help with a problem. 2. Remember who's in control The only person who chooses how you feel and what you think is you. If you want to be and stay positive, then don't let the negativity of others get you down. You can be compassionate and sympathetic without losing your positive outlook. It's your positive outlook that will make the people around you feel better. Energy is contagious--whether it be positive or negative. Infect those near you with your positivity and you'll continue to feel better yourself. 3. Random acts of kindness There is little else in the world that feels better than making someone else's day. Performing a random act of kindness, especially to a stranger, will boost you up for days. These are the kinds of things that are usually paid forward, so your one act can impact many more than one life. 4. Surround yourself with other positive people Yes, there are more out there just like you! Spend time with people you love and have fun. Get out and enjoy yourself with others who are just as positive as you are. These are just a few simple ways you can remain positive when there seems to be negativity all around you. You can be the eye of the storm if you can maintain control over your emotions and hang onto your positive mindset. If you continue to radiate peace and positiveness, the people around you will start doing the same.
