Say No to Negativity – Personal Development in Action

In a personal development journey daily life presents many adverse opportunities. I say opportunities in relation to adversity since that is one possible position to take.  Since adversity will come, regardless, it is a great time to practice choosing your attitude.  To succumb to the adversity or rise above it – that is the choice.  And rising above it will always take a great deal of effort and soul searching because it is not by any means the easy path.  Rising above it takes positive energy, taking stock of your own limiting beliefs, working to shift those (because remember they can be shifted and there is plenty of evidence to support that), constantly monitoring your emotions and shifting them to better feeling ones and doing everything in your power to find ways to appreciate the adversity that has come along.  All in all a lot to be done.

And taking the positive attitude to adversity is part of the solution. I offer the following from Deepak Chopra in his book Creating Affluence :-

N stands for saying no to negativity.  My friend Wayne Dyer, the famous author, taught me a simple technique for this.  Whenever he has a negative thought he silently says to himself, “Next” and moves on.

Saying no to negativity also means not being around negative people. Negative people deplete your energy.  Surround yourself with love and nourishment and do not allow the creation of negativity in your environment.”

Magnificent advice from Deepak and I am delighted to be involved with a Company of totally positive business owners. It is a privilege and an honor to be associated with this business and it brings me pleasure every day to work with world leaders and innovators in personal development home business.
