Get Rid Of Negativity In Your Life And Be A Happier Person

If you are dealing with negativity in your life, there are things that you can do about it.  Negativity usually comes from two sources, your inner critic or negative people in your life that want to bring you down.  There are ways to deal with both sources of negativity so that you are a happier person.

If it is your inner critic that is bringing you negativity, it is time to kick them to the curb.  Your inner critic is the little voice in your head that is always saying negative statements to you about how you cannot do things or you are not as good as you think you are.  When you hear that little voice trying to speak up, turn your thoughts to more positive ones.  Remind yourself of all the things you have accomplished and of all your wonderful traits.  It isn’t being conceited, it is being honest with yourself about your talents and values.

If you have people that bring you down in your life, then you need to cut your contact with them.  Cutting them completely out of your life may be impossible; for instance if they are family, but you can definitely cut down the amount of time you spend with them.  If someone in your life is always speaking negativity to you and planting seeds of doubt about yourself in your heart then you need to lessen the amount of time you spend with them.

Choose to surround yourself with positive people who make you want to be a more positive person.  Positivity, like negativity, is contagious and you will find yourself displaying behaviors of those you spend the most time with.  Also, a positive person will always be in your corner, cheering you on and helping you to believe in yourself.
