Remove Undesired Relationships
It might sound a bit harsh but you have to remove a toxic relationship from your life. There is no method where this is done nicely or pleasantly. But it can be done respectfully. Be honest and clear to the person you are talking with. We all have our own ways of making our message clear.

Honesty
Small white lies are hidden in everyday conversations. These little lies will in the end always lead up to bigger ones. Simply put, lying creates negative energy. You want people to be open with you right? Showing your true colors will allow them to trust you and feel comfortable around you. This, in turn, leads to a more meaningful friendship/relationship.

Set Boundaries
If you don’t comfortable with what they say to you let them know. If their comments cross a line or you feel judged you have the right to confront them and share how you feel. True friendship will show love and respect. Respectfully choosing for yourself will always be the right choice.
-
Live By Example
Find the people you wish to be surrounded with, by projecting that image onto yourself. Positivity attracts positivity. The ones that make you feel empowered and special should overpopulate your life. In time the negative relationships will fade.

Support
Taking the steps to help someone in need is admirable, to say the least. However, when your friends are in a ditch and you want to help them out you must consider your own standing first. Are your thoughts and intentions clear? Do you have enough positivity/energy to see this through? If it becomes a burden for you then it will become one for the other person as well. Think twice about how you can help and always do so within your means.
More importantly is that whatever you decide you have to make the choice thoughtfully and move forward. Regretting choices you have made will always result in negativity. Read here how to always make a thoughtful decision.

Nature Runs
Instead of taking a walk we choose to make our body active and allow our blood to pump. Take a deep breath and just run in any direction.

Taking the time to notice the incredible miracles of life that surrounds you.

How To Get Rid Of Negative Energy in The Mind
We can’t really think that all these parts of our being are just working separately right? Each has an effect on the other. Cause and effect. Balancing them is key to a healthy lifestyle.
I.e. You carry more responsibility than you can handle, the weight on your shoulders get’s heavier, your body has less energy and you are prone to physical ailments. It’s not rocket science to see what the effects are of negative energy. However, have we fully accepted that we are the cause of our own suffering…?
To truly accept that we have to start by being honest, painfully honest. You simply cannot move forward if you choose to lie to yourself about what you are thinking.

Meditate
I know you have heard this too many times! But for one simple reason. It works! There are many different types of meditations you can try such as yoga, breathing, body scans, focus points you name it. The goal here is to spend some time on a daily basis, clearing your mind, ridding it of negative thoughts and refocusing it on those that are positive.

Follow Your Passion
Enjoying the things you love allows you to feel positive, happy and joyful. Submerging yourself into a passion will make you forget your negative thoughts in no time.

Train your perception
Become the master of your own destiny. The more negatively we think, the more negative things we will perceive. It is a state of mind we choose to put ourselves in. However, the more positive we are and the more we believe in ourselves, the more positive things will seem to come along our path. The worst situations will always have a lesson in store for you. Learning equals growth and is positive. The choice is yours.
-
Blunt Honesty
Ok, this one might be harsh but I want you to be bluntly honest with yourself. No beating around the bush. Write down pros and con’s about your behavior, feelings or thought patterns. Do they benefit you? Yes, add it to you “to keep” list, No? in the “discard” list. Create a clear overview of whats in your head. If writing is not your thing use voice recording. You’d be surprised how well things will fall into place when you hear yourself talk. Become your own friend and help that person in need.
Doing mind work requires some dedication. You need to handle much more baggage and negative associations. Like everything it’s a process. Don’t be discouraged if you do not succeed to change things in this instant. You are working toward undoing your old patterns which you have built up for years.
If it would be simple you would not experience the benefit of change.

Love Where You Live
No matter where you live it is important to love it as you would love yourself. The energy we carry as an individual is reflected outwards.

Become Aware of Energy
Now, what do I mean with this…? It might sound a bit fictional to you but you’d be surprised how much energy someone can give you just based on their state of mind. If someone is angry you feel an urge to stay away from this person right? Just like if someone becomes violent you keep your distance.
Negative energy is something that you can feel around you without it necessarily being directed at you.Call it a gut feeling if you will, but in the end, it all points to simply wanting to avoid anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. Sadly you cannot always choose to leave and you must deal with all those nasty vibes. In that case…

Create a Barrier or Let The Energy Flow Past You
Think of a bubble of around 50cm that surrounds your body. Inside you are safe and your energy is in control. Nothing from outside will be allowed to penetrate your barrier. It is your safe zone. Being aware of your surroundings and not letting it affect you takes time but is worth the commitment. You can also choose to visualize the negative energy passing you, flowing straight into the ground. This is also a method many people find working well for them.
-
Be yourself
It is hard not to get affected by others but whatever the case try to be yourself! Be the example. You live your life by the standards which you want to receive. You have the immense power of influence. Use it the right way and you can make incredible changes.
Transforming negative into positive can be a lengthy process. However, the rewards are life-changing! There is a lot of information to digest so take your time and read it through a few times. As always, feel free to save on your self-growth Pinterest board. Thank you for supporting Nomadsoulzz.
