Sometimes we need to sit down and have a proper moan.
Life is frustrating a lot of the times. Especially when things go wrong.
And as much as it’s good to think positively and be optimistic about things. We can’t ignore the negative and dark side of the emotions we feel. After all…
We’re governed by how we feel. Now usually the pendulum should swing in equal measures but always end up more on the positive side.
Lately though it’s getting stuck on the negative side a little more. I mean if you jump onto social media or turn on the T.V. or even pick up that old paper thing called a newspaper. It feels like every form of negativity gets shoved right into our eyeballs.
I mean we all know that negativity is a quick way to garner attention and that’s not the good kind.
So today I’m just going to slip in a little reminder that everything we do. Whether good or bad, positive or negative is a form of energy exchange.
Whether we want to land a new job. Pitch and win a new client. Sell our warez, make more money, Inspire someone or even become a leader to the ones who might want to do what you do. Energy has to be exchanged in equal measures.
And so like I said. Sometimes we need to moan and have a rant and set things on fire. Let that rage fuelled negative fuel us, but when the fire burns out and the ash settles. We need to start changing the type of energy we put out into the world.
The quickest and easiest way to do it (While sounding a little woo woo) is to write down what you’re grateful for and to write down your goals, wants and desires as if you already have them. Present tense baby.
It works like magic. When you start to feel the pull of negativity. Doing this can help flip you out of that mode.
But importantly, you need to balance it all. Feel the feelings even when they’re negative. Acknowledge them and then flip the switch. Exchange that energy and you’ll be good to rock and roll.
With that all said. I’m going into Mortal Kombat with the old school forum software I was talking about.
Gotta put some positive energy into that for the rest of the day.
