Negative Energy...Ugh!!
Okay,
I am sure you all have experienced that one person or group of people
that just kill your positive vibe. This negative energy chips at your
soul and cuts through your mood like a ginsu knife. Its draining,
discouraging and downright sickening...but hey, that’s just my opinion.
So I recently started this new job and of course, I go in skeptical of
the people and work ethics. That’s normal, right? Anyway, my first day
on the job is like “wow.” Everyone has all these negative things to say
about the other and I must admit, I was overwhelmed. Well at about the
month mark, all this backbiting, nagging, whining and discontent took
shards of my soul. I instantly noticed that one day out of the blue, I
was in this god awful mood and my husband said it was my new job. He
said, “Don’t allow the energy of others to mess your mood up.” Years
ago, I would have allowed the mood, feelings and opinions of others to
dictate my thought process, to take me out of my element and alter the
spirit within me. With age truly comes wisdom. This is not to say that
what these individuals say is false or that they don’t have the right to
feel the way that they do; but they don’t have the right to impose
their negative energy off on me. I am entitled to my peace of mind.
Little do they know, I have taken the necessary steps to ensure that “no
weapon formed against me shall prosper.” I understand that the
treatment of one doesn’t conclude that this will be the treatment of
all. So I say to all of you that are searching for that internal,
neutral place within your spirit; simply limit the time you spend with
these negative souls. speak peace into the atmosphere you reside and ask
God to go into each space before you. Good luck and God bless you as
you discover who you are.
Yours Truly,
Humbly Speaking
