To break free and fly away from the crap that holds you back, the first thing to do is to remove yourself from negative environments and the negative people or as I call them “Emotional Vampires.” They are the ones with anger, resentment, low self-esteem, pessimism and low frustration tolerance. That negativity over time becomes part of their personality.
Emotional vampires suck the life out of you and every ounce of happiness you have when you are around them. These negative people are the enemies of positive growth and change, and the effects of them around you can actually last much longer than just the time you spend with them. All that negativity sticks to you and weights you down from having a positive life, inner peace and from focusing on what you would like to accomplish.
If you want success and a positive change in your life, surround yourself with positive, stable, and happy people. However, if you MUST interact with an “Emotional Vampire” because they are blood relatives, friends or coworkers, my suggestion is to keep them at arm's length. (I sincerely hope you have a long arm.)
There are negative people everywhere, and over the years, I've learned that you can't change people, no matter how hard you try, but what you can do is change where and with whom you hang out. There are simple ways to help you remove any ongoing negativity from around you, and to keep those emotional vampires at bay. It’s up to you to do your best to protect yourself from the negative energy they spew your way and I don’t mean wear a garland of garlic around your neck for protection, it doesn’t work for these types of suckers.
It is your responsibility to look after yourself. If you don't, no one else will. So, don't let negative people rent space in your head. Make the decision to stay away from any environments that don't serve you. Don't let others take advantage of your good nature. Set boundaries and learn to say “NO” more often. (I definitely need to start working on that!) Hang around only with those who are positive, those who encourage you and help you grow.
It’s your life and you deserve to be happy. Happy people attract all good things to themselves. So stay positive and always follow your positive thoughts with positive action.
Go on and cut the line that is holding you down… and fly away to happiness!
