How to Avoid Negative Individuals

By Hal Neff


There is the classic saying, "Birds of the feather flock together. " The reasoning behind this is we tend to be like the individuals many of us hang out with.

If you're around "cannot, should not, and do not" people, then you'll continuously be discouraged and depressed. Instead, surround yourself with visionaries and people who are able to encourage and motivate you so you can, should, and do take action.

* Following your intuition may be an effective method of filtering out negative people initially upon meeting them.

Here are a few body language signs to watch out for when you encounter new individuals:

* A sick or uncomfortable feeling forms in the pit of your stomach.

* The hair around the back of your neck stands on end.

* Your skin crawls and you feel jumpy and adverse to touch.

* Your shoulder muscles knot up and your throat and chest tighten.

* You experience a sense of pressure, agitation, or darkness.

* You feel physically, mentally, or emotionally exhausted after meeting the person.

These signs might be your body's way of showing you to remain clear of this person. You might leave their presence feeling depressed and discouraged because all you've listened to is complaining.

Normally, this sucks the energy right out of you, but you can learn to read these signs initially and you'll save yourself from becoming associated with a negative person. These individuals are toxic and will poison your mind with their negativity.

Look for Individuals with Optimistic Attitudes

Sometimes you may tell someone is positive just by their outward appearance or the way they carry out themselves. Walking confidently with their head up or even smiling are indications that a person is in a good mood.

A few other signs of an optimistic person are more intuitive, such as:

*You have a sense of ease - as if you've known the person for a long time.

* You really feel relaxed, calm, and safe.

* You breathe simpler.

* You lean forward rather than crossing your arms defensively and extracting.

* You are at ease with the other person's touch (hug, handshake, etc.).

* You leave their presence feeling vitalized and alive.

Just like negative individuals put out a negative energy, positive individuals have positive energy. These people are nourishing and supportive. Your body can pick up on this and warn you or encourage you based on the circumstance.

How do we begin finding these positive people we want to associate with? Most of the above responses are easily felt in our day-to-day interactions.

But there are proactive actions we may take to align ourselves with optimistic people:

* Find a local neighborhood event, club, or group where individuals challenge themselves and encourage their members to be better people. They are going to assist you to set objectives for yourself and then attain them.

* Take part in online forums or organize your own positive mentoring group. At times it is impossible to absolutely stay away from certain negative individuals (perhaps a boss or family member), but you can limit your relationship with them and seek out positive role models elsewhere.

* Make use of your positive support system to prevent the negative people in your life from getting the best of you. Count on your family or friends when you need to vent to eliminate your own negative emotions.

The choices you create in life are yours alone. It's entirely in your power to decide on who you are friendly with and whether you would like to live a happy life or be miserable.

When you feel a lot of negativity, take control of your life and create some changes to eliminate the negative sources. This will probably take some time but making these changes will help improve your daily mood and remind you that great things are ahead.
