Let’s Talk About Positivity vs. Negativity

There’s two different states life will have you tugging from throughout everyday life. 

  1. State of Positivity: someone who is optimistic; often look for solutions during difficult times; and overall looks for results and success 
  2. State of Negativity: someone who is pessimistic; often expects the worst; and normally is downbeat.

As stated above there will be times where you won’t have any problems being positive; then there will be days where it’s hard to even have one positive thought based on everything that’s taking place within your life. Throughout life it’s important to note that you’re in control of what state you view things.

There are individuals who go through things and have it set in their heads, “no matter what’s going on I know one day it will get better.” Then, there’s others who feed off negativity; those who seem to enjoy when drama, “bad” things are happening in other’s life, and/or toxicness is taking place. It’s something that some of us will never be able to understand, but there are definitely people out there that are like this.

There are 2 types of people:

  1. Positive: loves to hear other’s ideas/accomplishments and are always excited for them
  2. Negative: “Debbie Downers”, those who could care less about others doing good and express reasons on why the idea won’t prosper

In knowing this there are some people who have a hard time being happy for those who are taking promotions, opening a business, and a lot of other accomplishments. Sometimes you may find yourself sharing what seems like exciting news to someone and you may get a dry response in return. This may cause you to become less motivated and/or no longer excited about what you had planned.  

Here’s some ways you can block out negativity: 

-Don’t take other people’s negativity personally

-Surround yourself with positive people

-Focus on solutions to “problems” you may have

-_Realize that life has a series of ups and down

–Acknowledge the down moments, accept them, and change what you have control over

-_Focus on today

–You can’t take back your past and you can’t control the future

Don’t let anything/anyone distract you from what you’re planning and preparing for. Normally those who are negative majority of the time have become content and don’t want more out of life. So things like taking a leap of faith, starting that business, etc. sounds fearful for them and they’ll usually place their fears onto others.
Learn how to protect your peace; you don’t have to tell everybody everything. Stay true to the goals you’ve set for yourself and plan everyday to work towards accomplishing those goals. Everyone won’t be happy for you, but it’s up to you to make yourself proud. ALWAYS REMEMBER, DEMI IS ROOTING FOR YOU! ALL POSITIVE VIBES!
