Negativity sucks, so manage it!
Negative thoughts, Negative people, negative messages, negative images... negative, negative, negative, negative. See, even reading the word negative to much creates an energy of adversity. Phew! My belief is that negativity sucks so we all need to manage it.
The word has such a super wicked vibe that I advocate using the 4 R's to help manage negativity.
The 4 R's are: Remove, Replace, Recast, & Revive.
Remove - negative people from your life. Negaphobs are an energy drain. They create static in your mental and physical space that will cut you off from your focus and undermine the work you've done to get yourself moving in a positive direction.
Replace - your own negative thoughts with positive affirmations, images, and messages. Yes you need to continually affirm the positive in your life. Your mind is the most important tool you have because there's nothing that exists that wasn't a thought first. You can think your way to what you want. Why? Because you've done it before. You do it everyday and you're doing it right now.
Recast - something that you're seeing as negative into a positive light. (don't' push for this, only apply this if it doesn't violate the 1st two R's) [thanks for this one @crazyonyou from twitter]
Revive - yourself with self care that restocks your energy, your spirit, and shifts your mindset toward loving kindness. Indulge in hot soaks, massages, nails and hair done, read a good book, or do some yoga. The point is to do something that focuses your energy on you and taking care of yourself... well!
Remember, time is short. Do your happy dance. Enjoy life!
