DAY FIVE
How
to Protect Yourself from the Negativity of Others
You
have taken it upon yourself to grow as a human being. Inevitably you
will face resistance, or the appearance of resistance, in the form of
negative people and negative self-talk from your mind.
YOU MUST
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM NEGATIVITY!
Avoid
negative people and situations. Do not allow anyone the opportunity
to douse their negative energy on you as you try to evolve. It is not
necessary to explain to anybody where your new mental attitude is coming
from, or where the cash is flowing from, unless they are completely
supportive and genuinely interested.
Do not
argue or defend your new ideas to anyone! Ignore them, and get away
from anybody who cannot understand the psychological principles you
are learning in this program. This is the easy part.
You must
also banish the negative self-talk that incessantly occurs in your mind.
Replace all negativity, criticism and self-doubt with an honest belief
in your ability to change anything in your life.
You do
not have to pretend that you do not have problems, or that things do
not always go smoothly, but you must realize that you have the ability
to solve any of your problems, and the potential to attain all of your
goals. This is not blind hope, but literal fact.
The easiest
way to banish negativity from your life is to have an optimistic view
towards the future. Perhaps your past has been filled with negativity
and pain, but there is no reason to drag this pain with you as you grow
older.
You have
the power to make you life a positive expression of your spirit. Realize
that you have the power to change anything in your life with which you
are unsatisfied. This knowledge will give you the strength to go beyond
the negativity we are all surrounded by. Also, with positivity and optimism,
it is much easier to turn your problems into opportunities for growth.
Take five
minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I WILL
AVOID NEGATIVE PEOPLE AND I WILL NOT ENGAGE IN NEGATIVE SELF-TALK. I
KNOW THAT I CAN HANDLE ANY OF MY PROBLEMS IF I COMMIT TO CHANGING THEM.
I HAVE NOW COMMITTED TO FINANCIAL ABUNDANCE, AND SO I WILL REACH MY
GOALS.
TAKE
ACTION: Optimism for the future is the easiest shortcut to banish
negativity. Today, create for yourself a simple, short statement of
positivity that you can repeat to yourself whenever you feel doubt,
or fear, or anger. A good example is I am healthy, wealthy, and
wise, or Everyday, in every way, I am getting better and
better, or simply Everything is going my way. Find
a statement that you are comfortable with and apply it throughout your
day.
QUOTE
OF THE DAY: Without doubt, the most common weakness of all
human beings is the habit of leaving their minds open to the negative
influence of other people. --Napoleon Hill
