“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another or transferred from one object to another.” –The Law of Conservation of Energy
Every
single person has an energy and whether it’s positive, negative or neutral
depends a lot on the people you choose to associate with. In my 28 years I’ve
realized that viewing the world from a place of optimism is a choice. I’ve also
come to understand that the key to my happiness is surrounding myself with
positive people. I thrive when I’m around others that face every obstacle as an
opportunity to learn and grow, rather than as an unbearable blow. These people
are the movers and shakers of the world and always seem to see things on the
bright side. 
We all
have those people in our lives that only talk about negative things and are
always in the middle of some drama. If you’re on the phone with them and find
yourself paying more attention to what’s on tv, pulling the phone away from
your ear because you can’t believe the BS they are talking about or rolling
your eyes every 2 minutes, just hang up. Their negative energy is starting to
affect you. People with negative energy don’t want to be alone in their pity
party, they like others to be a part of foolishness as well, hence the old
saying “misery loves company”. You should get away from any situation or
person the minute you feel their negativity starting to shift your energy. 
There
have been times in my life where family and friends were surrounded by
negativity and I’ve had to remove myself because I could feel myself falling
into their negative energy. Once I was able to regroup I went back
to offer help again, but realized that I couldn’t help anyone if we both had a
negative mindset. Don’t get it twisted, removing people from your life can be
extremely hard and I am in no way saying that it’s easy. However, there is but
so much you can do to help a negative person because eventually you’ll get
frustrated and fall into their cycle of negativity. It’s important to recognize those who dampen
your spirit and cause you more angst then uplifting because no one is worth
your happiness.
Newsflash:
Having a positive outlook on life takes work. Yeah, it’s easier to have
negative energy, but who wants to live life under a dark cloud? A
lot of people are simply too lazy and don’t want to put in the time to convert
their negative energy into a positive one.
Of course everyone has bad days and situations, but having a positive
outlook will shorten the time you dwell on these and will jump start your plan
of action to change the situation. There’s a reason why most people love the
new Pharrell song – it promotes being HAPPY!
Make a
conscious choice and stick with it. Choose to surround yourself by people with
positive energy. Choose people that empower you and can help you make light of
situations. Choose to remove negative people from your life until you’re sure
you’re strong enough not to be influenced negatively. Choose to do things that
make you happy and feel good regardless of what others think because everything
isn’t for everyone.
