It is difficult enough to learn not to absorb the negative energy coming from people. But worth a try. Have you heard about such a concept as empathy? This is the ability not only to have compassion for a person, but to feel and experience the emotions of other people. Unfortunately, being an empath isn't always good for the person himself. Because he absorbs some of the pain coming from the interlocutor, and this has an extremely negative effect on him.
And it happens that next to you is not at all an interlocutor, but simply a negative person, and negative energy simply emanates from him. And so, in order not to absorb it, you need to learn. I suggest that you adhere to these simple rules, and you can protect yourself from the bad influence of others!
Rule one - don't try to please everyone
Here, look, someone is complaining about you, someone is not happy with you, do not rush to immediately do something in order to please this person. This will make you depend on other people's opinions and will draw out all the energy from you.
It will not happen that everyone around you will love you. It doesn't work like that. Even if you become ideal for the majority, there are still 2-3 individuals who will be dissatisfied with something. Are you going to constantly please one or the other? Then you will not have enough strength or energy to live, to enjoy life, to have fun and do your own thing. You will always walk in suspense, trying to please everyone around you. You need to love yourself first! In this case, you will create a force field around you that will help you protect yourself from the influence of others.
And don't try to change anyone. This is a waste of time, effort and energy.
Rule two - don't let everyone in your life
We sometimes out of politeness, and trying with all our might to behave so as not to offend a person, without knowing it, we begin to open up to him, let him into our affairs, into our lives. But you can't let just anyone into your life. Respect yourself and your home! Of course, these are good qualities of generosity, openness, sociability, but there is a fine line that cannot be crossed if you do not want to be trampled on.
Rule three - stop paying attention to negative people
Liars, complainers, manipulators - be more attentive in dealing with such negativists. Listen to them less, and generally try to pay less attention to them. These people suck all the energy out of you, and you yourself allow them to do it. You can be a good friend, but be careful to distinguish in time if someone suddenly starts using you.
Rule four - be in nature more often
It will seem strange to you, but it is in nature that you can clear your thoughts, calm your nerves, and just breathe in clean air! If you supplement your walks in nature with physical exercises, it will only enhance the effect of cleansing.
Rule five - only you are responsible for your behavior, words and thoughts
Even how you feel is 100% your responsibility. Our perception of ourselves is much stronger than the perception of others. There is no need to pretend to be a victim, almost everything that happens in your life happens either from your inaction, either with your permission or because you do not take a responsibility.
Start with yourself, only you yourself can adjust and position yourself so that the negative from others will not hurt you and ruin your life!
