How many times have you heard people saying: my job sucks; I am worth nothing; nobody loves me; why does this happen with me only; I have too much work load, I have no time for family; no one understands me..? many times, isn't it?
Emotional energies follow a snowball effect. When someone gives us a smile, we naturally tend to smile back, we look at someone else with smile and that person smiles. When someone shares a sad instance with us like the loss of someone very close, our mind starts searching for similar examples from our own lives, and we reciprocate with how it felt when we experienced a similar loss and become sad. This can specially be seen in corridor discussions in office environment- if one expresses that his/her efforts are not recognised, others also start feeling and expressing the same. If one employee mentions about existing bias or work overload, other also starts feeling the same.
The rule of 'opposites attract' does not hold true for energy and our environment...
Negative energy attracts more negative thoughts and builds further negative energy. So when things seem so wrong, it is worth a try to stop all negative and create positive energy around. If there is too much of negative energy build up, it may take some time, but it is possible.
So how do you start? Well, its simple. Think of something good about the same environment that is bothering you (You can always find something positive in everything, there is nothing absolutely negative), and talk about it loud. If there is a lot of negative around, the response will start with agreement but turn towards negative. e.g. you maybe upset in office about workload, low salaries, bias, your relationship with your boss or anything but you may feel that the colour of the office walls is bright and vibrant and it helps in making it look so great, you say that to those around you. They may say 'yes, thats right, but you know, that great look is no use with such horrible people'. Such is the power of negative energy that it will try to bring the conversation back to the negative. It will be important for you to keep bringing the conversation back to positive, as it moves from positive to negative. Also, it will be important to avoid talking about the negative aspects.
This can be applied in all spheres of our life. As we practice it more and more, we will see our life change positively and happiness filling in our life instead of stress and anxiety.
