Yesterday I told how nice it is when someone has a positive attitude in life. A big question is how you can stay positive when you are surrounded by so many people with negative thoughts. When everybody tells you that what you plan is not possible, that what you do will not be successful and that they themselves don’t see any future in it, then how can you stay positive about it? You imagine this situation: you wake up on a Saturday morning and have an idea, a plan to go somewhere, maybe to a nice park. Full of joy you go and tell your friends about it but soon you see that they are not as happy with this idea as you are. One asks if the weather will stay nice during the day and takes a doubting look to the sky.
Another one says that it is already too late, there are too many other things that have to be done. A third opinion is, that you never get any parking place there and what do you do then? And with each of these comments you feel how your energy level sinks. Your joy and happiness is gone and suddenly you think it actually was a pretty stupid idea. This can happen with anything, if it is at work or in your private life, there can be many people who, consciously or not, can try to create fear inside you. It can make you feel bad and negative in seconds even though you were full of positivity before. In this kind of situation you have to be more self-confident because this negativity that you feel actually comes from outside.
It is not yours, not coming from you. It comes towards you but you can decide not to let it have any effect on you. Be confident and your confidence will create an aura which will protect you from this negativity. This self-confidence also comes from positivity and trust. Those who produce the negativity do not have much trust but live a rather doubtful life. They do not have confidence that it will be good and that they themselves can succeed. That is why they are producing all this negative energy. But you can develop your consciousness in a positive way. It is a process which will improve your confidence and will fill you with positivity.
Today I had many healing sessions. Some of the people were new, others had been to healing sessions with me many times already. It was nice to see that their positivity grew and they were very happy after the session. This is what I want to do, I remove this negative energy and the healing strengthens their positivity.

If you need a break from what feels like someone’s toxicity, take a break. It is fine to walk away no matter your relation. When you feel at peace, it is a good time to talk things through. Come together sharing a goal of reaching peace together and feeling compassion for one another. It can help, if you find a lot of anger or hurt in yourself to describe this to the person you are speaking without attaching a story to your feelings. Together you can figure out what words or thoughts awaken pain in you. Be careful to notice when you don’t want peace. This can happen when your pain is speaking for you and when you cannot dis-identify with an emotion in you.
I decided when I was very young that I wanted to be an artist and my parents said I needed to learn to do something practical, and my friends also began saying this as I got older, even people who hadn’t seen my art said this. I did stop painting for a few years, but then I became stronger and decided to just do it anyway. I’m not famous or anything, most people even in my local community have never heard of me, but I paint and people buy my paintings. It is an uncertain line of work but I do sell enough to live. Also if I hadn’t kept painting I would never have met other in the artist community and would probably still feel like an oddball. Glad I stuck to it.
You know, even if you lack the confidence and support you should keep doing what you love anyway, so maybe it won’t work out, who knows? Normally if you try to do something you love and it doesn’t work it will just lead you to something you love more. So keep on going- even if it doesn’t make sense or the support’s not there.
I have found before, after examining myself, that I am kind of programmed to be negative. Now that I am more conscious of myself I realize that I say things that make people begin to feel uncertain, maybe it is so I look like I know what’s going on better than everyone else or because I just have no faith. But It’s something that should be fixed. Making people doubt is uncalled for.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is just get space from others who are being negative. If you can’t change their minds to be positive, don’t let them change yours to be negative! Just spend some time alone, remembering your positive thoughts and come back to them later. You can’t force them to feel better…they have to choose for themselves.
