Negative Numpty

It never ceases to amaze me how draining the effects of negativity can be.  How you don't even recognise it when it becomes engrained into your every day existence & is spouting out of your mouth as though it's a natural characteristic of your personality. 

Negativity comes in lots of different guises, it can be blatant, bold and bloody-minded, or underlying, snide and suggested.  Sometimes even the mere hint of negativity is enough for someone to pick up the negative gauntlet and go running off with it as fast as is humanly possible.  Alternatively you can find yourself a shrivelled up sponge, soaking up everyone else's unwanted negativity until it is reaches excessive amounts and oozes freely from your very soul.  It's attack is vicious and all consuming, assaulting all aspects of your being, your mind, your body, your soul until it completely devours you.

It spreads in a group like a infectious disease infecting one, then another, then another, passing, building, growing and becoming more powerful the more who succumb to it's toxic pleasure.  It falsely feels comforting in it's communication - the bitch & moan concept of gossiping, expunging the feelings, rather than keeping them bottled up.  But negativity isn't choosy, it's resilience is epic, so regardless of whether it's bottled or open, it still unleashes it's fury.

Stopping it is akin to giving up smoking.  Starting the process so early in it's concept, that it's like learning to walk again, or talk again.  The moment that your brain feels the cloud of negativity start, it needs to let it go.  Imagination is key :  putting the negative thought into a strong hold box, shutting the lid, locking it and dropping it into the ocean, alternatively & maybe a more relaxing vision is to put it on a white fluffy cloud and watch as it disappears into the distance.  Recognise the thought, accept it for what it is and then push it away again.

Life is difficult, economic climates chaotic, minds busy, to weigh it down in negativity is punishment, to let it go, is freedom.  Suddenly, that all consuming thought has vanished, your body, mind and soul, saved from the drudgery of negativity.  The next thought comes along and the process is the same, float away little demon thought!

Soon you'll start to be more proficient, but, don't lapse or stop thinking - because those sneaky little negative monsters, will creep up on you when you least expect it.  You'll start to spot the Negative Numpty's - those beyond help, who cannot resist, who are completely consumed all of the time, who will always harp on, find discord or find ways to try to bring you down, not perhaps intending to make you feel bad, but more-over to make them feel better. They were right, they knew best, comrades of misery.

Acceptance of others is paramount, you can't convert those, who don't want to be converted - they remain comfortable in that negative place.  But what you can do is not let it taint you.  Stick to your own conviction of positivity.  Do you know how draining misery can be?  Happy, positive actions, creative happy positive thoughts, which in itself make you a lot more fun to be around and a much better person for YOU to listen to inside your head - because that's the person who you have to live with, who you have to answer to.  Don't be a negative numpty, be a positive passionate person!
