Ridding Yourself Of Negativity

Pin It

It's human nature to want, crave, and attempt to be simply...

 happy.

Ultimately finding happiness is battling negativity. We all have negativity in our lives...every one of us...but it's what we do with the negative that really defines who we really are.

The beautiful thing about the human condition is that we are always striving to be happier...even if we can't completely figure it out. But I believe in the power of free will and believe we have a choice. Regardless of how trapped we feel sometimes in life...we always have a choice. We must pick our battles and realize what's worth the pain and what's not. 

When negativity come into your life, it's important to first accept it.  Denial can be an ugly thing. You have to initially realize that there is this negative {I'm going to go with the classic nouns...a person, place, or thing} in your life. Once you realize this negativity, it's up to you to either change the situation or accept it and move the fuck on {excuse my language.} 

I believe that a big issue is that people settle, because we {as human beings} are creatures of habit. We like our comfort and routine, because it's safe...and it's known. It's scary to step outside our "bubble"...even if it's to reach a better place in our lives.

So what can you do to get out of the "bubble"? The best advice I can give is vigilant self-monitoring. You must constantly check yourself, because doing a "course correction" in life isn't easy. It takes a lot of focused mental work to consistently remind yourself to slowly rid yourself of whatever negativity is in your life. 

But, just remember to be easy on yourself, because ridding yourself of negativity isn't easy.
