How do you get rid of negativity in your life?

Except for horrible catastrophes, the negative in most situations will have a positive. You just have to look for it. It's like any kind of stress...what is stressful for one person is stimulating for another. It's all a matter of perspective.\n\nIt's easy to say, "This is too hard." But the people who choose to embrace their life experiences...even the bad ones... instead of allowing themselves to become a victim to their situation come out stronger and ready to face the world on it's own terms.\n\nYOU have the power to accept or reject negativity. Maybe you've heard the old saying, "What if two countries decided to have a war and no one came?" What that means is, it takes two to have a conflict. It's your choice to participate, but the choice may involve making hard decisions like quitting a job or leaving home or distancing yourself from a friend or family member or at the very least leaving the immediate area of the negativity when things get rough...but you do have control. You can choose not to play the negative game if you want to.

Before you roll out of bed in the morning, count your blessings, and tell yourself your are going to have a good day.  Give gratitude in all things. Rejoice in your health. Volunteer for a good cause.  Do at least one thing, anonymously every day that makes someone else happy.  Practice a hobby you love.  Love what you do. Meditate. Pray.  Watch some good comedys.  Read some upbeat or self help books.  Take a class.  Take a walk.  Take it easy.

Quit thinking about the stuff you don't want and start thinking about the things you do want..  Go after what you want and don't focus on the negative things in your life....

Right now i'm in that same situation. You have to learn to let go of all the bad negativity. That doesn't help when you hold everything inside. You have to learn to express yourself better. If you have a best friend or a real close friend. Share almost everything with them. If things bother you that people do let them know. Don't stress over the little things. There is a way to be happier all the time even if it's not you, but it will take some work. You have to look deep inside of you and wthink to yourself why do I act the way I do??

That's a hard one.  You have to just try and get them to see if they are negative, why they are negative and try to show them how to be positive.

I know I do not have all the answers that you need. But I hope that somehow my ideas would help.\n\nLoneliness is all in the mind. We can choose to be lonely or otherwise. Instead of sulking in a corner thinking of life's myseries and heartaches, why not boost your self esteem by thinking about the good things that happened to you  (and around you) and the good things that you expect to happen.\n\nGo out with friends and amuse yourself. Talk to people whom you trust and tell them about what's bothering you. Or get away for a while, alone - commune with nature, meditate, talk to God (or whoever you believe is the highest being). You'll realize that there are still beautiful things to be thankful for. Afterall, problems are there to be faced head on. \n\nDo not live with loneliness. Deal with it. Instead of living with it, come out a winner over your problems/frustrations or whatever causes this feeling of loneliness. You should not allow problems/negative ideas influence your life and take away the happiness that you deserve. You should take control.

When you feel yourself get cynical and resentful I suggest a trip over to 'Polls and Surveys' for some light entertainment. Get away from this for a while to lighten up. Take care!

I hate it when people are negative all the time. It makes me wonder what they have missed in life because of that. If you constantly think something won't work or won't be fun, etc.. it only limits the opportunities in life. I say be happy, try stuff and if it ends up "sucking" then oh well, move on!\nWHY DO PEOPLE COME ON HERE AND WRITE A BOOK FOR THE ANSWER? JUST GET TO THE POINT. NO ONE WANTS TO READ A FRIGGIN ESSAY ON THE SUBJECT.

Its about mind set.You have to accept all the good that life has to offer.You have to believe and know that only good is going to come your way.Sure there is going to be a few bumps in the road but go with it.Its just a bump.A positive out look will always land you in a better place than a dark negative view of things.Put yourself around positive people and avoid negativity in any form.Life is an adventure and the way you look at it will shape it for the good or the bad it's your choice.

Each day at the end of the day, write down 5 things that you are thankful for.  It doesn't matter how small or big the things are.  If someone you love, smiled at you, that is a good thing.  If you get a perfect parking spot, that is a positive thing.  Focus on what is positive in life.  Believe in your higher power and that everything happens for a reason.  Sometimes negativity brings lessons that we need to learn even when it feels bad.  Try to find the good even in the bad things.  Trust that your higher power will see you through all bad and good events.

In life, there are always ups and downs. Nobody's life is always smooth sailing.\n\nHowever, you can always think positively regardless of what happens and stay happy. Do the things that make you happy. Engage in a job that you love. Get hobbies that you like. In that way, you can enjoy your life and live happily forever.

First, stop caring. Yes, I know its hard but let it go. Remove yourself from negative influences that put you down like family and friends. Minimize your time with them and get rid of them. Smile, fake happiness until you feel it. Establish goals that aren't people related. Goals that are hard but ones that you are able to accomplish, a new career position, better physical conditioning, knowledge etc. Believe you are the greatest thing in the whole universe.

Always be negative or complaining.  That gets old fast.
