Learn to Distance Yourself from Negativity and Achieve Inner Peace

Negativity can become all consuming, it can seep in from negative people and the negative environments they create when you’re not looking. Learn how to recognise toxic people and how to protect yourself, your mindset and your inner peace.

Some are obvious and are quite clearly toxic / negative, others masquerade as positive people and get you with little doses, gradually increasing the intensity and how often they hit you with it. These ones are the most dangerous because in between the toxic hits they will be charming and may even seem fun to be with. Learn to recognise negativity and toxic people (tip - they tend to like drama, gossip, complaining, blaming etc.) then start to distance yourself physically if you can, and if you can’t (it is often found in the workplace) distance yourself mentally – don’t join in the gossip, complaining or drama and limit your engagement with toxic personalities.

If you can, then create a physical distance from the negativity if you can’t do that straight away, learn to be so positive you can distance yourself even whist in its presence.
