How to Overcome Negativity
1. Accept how things truly are. Look within, dissect the situation...and then weigh and feel the situation...to grasp how you truly feel or think about it.
2. Bond with the circumstances, thoughts and emotions, and give yourself ample time to digest, process and understand them...at a comfortable pace and space.
If you would like, find someone or something neutral, comforting and reliable to help you tide over this process.
3. There comes a point...when you feel numb and tired of your senses (and influences from your environment), and amidst the silence, while piecing the puzzle pieces together...you slowly gain consciousness, clarity and perception.
Suddenly, you have some idea on how your past decisions affected you, some motivation to drive a new direction, and some idea on what your future plans, or your next steps, might be.
4. As the common denominator of all of your experiences and relationships so far, you slowly learn and discover what attracts certain influences and experiences...and repels certain influences and experiences...to reach or come to a certain conclusion.
Under these influences, you might adopt some negative side effects that you are aware of and can potentially affect your interactions, or vibes, with people that you actually care about in the entire universe. And...you might feel extremely negatively (angry, distraught, distressed) due to the cause(s) of these implications because...you're hypersensitive to how it affects you, and people around you, especially if you highly value certain connections, which are extremely rare and meaningful in a lifetime.
But still...be kind and forgive. Life is too short for drama...and chasing what we can't realistically attain, or doesn't enrich your being (in general). Thanks to these individuals and experiences, you gained new stories, lessons...and therefore, lifelong insights. Would hurt quite a bit in the beginning, but...trust the process, and trust yourself for what you can do. We will get by, towards a definite point, in time.
Not many things can be brighter and more colorful than a bit of optimism, hope and love, in a seemingly bleak and gray world.
5. To forget...I admit that it's hard, unless you have the capability...to visualize, imagine and store all of the information somewhere in the recesses of your mind, deep enough for you not to remember it as vividly, even though...you may still feel negative feelings if you come across certain influences or stressors that remind you of a certain experience or individual. And then...you can shapeshift into an entirely different person...in just a short amount of time, with a great amount of willpower and mind power.
However, these lessons that you learn can further drive you to prevent similar situations from occurring again in future. This might include self-improvement, whereby you find out areas that you wish to improve, visualize yourself into becoming who you wish to be, and start planning and acting on small, sustainable actions that will help you achieve your goal and become who you want to be.
With every lesson, the cycle repeats itself all over again...and it gets better with time and experience.
More stories to listen, to absorb...and to tell, to our peers, our children in future...and for those in need.
Together, we lead better lives...than what we may perceive we might have led before we embark on our journey.
*I just realised how much I love spontaneous writing...can't believe I took around half an hour to think and write on the go...it's kind of crazy but oddly satisfying at the same time!
