People experience negative feelings such as sadness, anger, jealousy or hatred when the situation they are in is out of their control. Negativity is very common, especially in the workplace. These emotions tend to make people doubt themselves and affect how they do work and perceive things. While it's generally natural to occasionally find ourselves in situations that can cause us negative emotions, it's still worth knowing how to deal with such negative emotions. Below are 25 tips to help you deal with negative emotions caused by unpleasant situations.

25. Assess the situation objectively

It's never worth making a big deal out of molehills
When something bad happens, try to avoid exaggeration and the desire to make the situation more negative than it really is. Sometimes a person can deceive himself and make an elephant out of a fly by constantly thinking it over and over again. This is unnecessary and leads to unwanted stress. Instead, try to think of solutions to the problem and apply some of the tips you find on this list.

24. Learn to be reasonable


This tip goes hand in hand with the tip in #25. When bad situations happen, the temptation to act in the heat of the moment, on the wave of emotions instead of logic, is too strong. First of all, you should learn to keep your emotions under control and not let them influence your judgment. If something bad happens, just accept that bad things happen sometimes and find a way to deal with them and move on with your life.

23. Think of ways that help you relax.


This is a simple solution, but nonetheless one of the most effective. If a wave of negativity overwhelms you, this can be a clear sign that you are mentally "blown away". Get out of the negative environment and relax. If you are at work, this can be a difficult task. However, and there are exits, you can go and talk to someone in another department and take a walk during lunch instead of eating with colleagues indoors.

22. Try to understand the situation and learn from it


The sad truth is that we live in a world full of negativity. However, this does not mean that you are doomed to fall into his network. Learn to recognize negative situations and learn from them by overcoming them while remaining positive. Usually, in every situation there is a positive side, even if it is small. Learn to find it and focus on it.

21. Exercise


Not too many people know the fact that in addition to keeping your figure in good shape, exercise also helps reduce stress levels in the body. Practicing, for example, gymnastics, allows the body to better cope with negative emotions, as endorphins are produced in the process, making you feel better.

20. Don't hold on to the past


It's true, we do learn from our mistakes (at least that's how it should be). But it's one thing to learn from your mistake and move on with your life, and it's quite another to reflect on the past and drown in a quagmire of negativity. Learn to understand that the past will remain the past. Just like that, because you can't change it anyway. You cannot influence it, embellish it, stop the moment in the past, erase it from your memory, or subject it to any other form of adjustment. Therefore, if you still cannot change anything in your past, why would you waste valuable life energy and time on reflection and regret? Instead, focus on the present and aim for a brighter future. You will feel happier and more productive when you focus all your wasted energy on what you can do in the present.

19. Learn not just to listen, but to hear people


Listening is one of the best ways to deal with negativity in the workplace. Just like you, your work colleagues want to be heard and they need someone who can just listen to them. During group discussions, try to listen carefully to other people, not just what you yourself have to say. This will improve your relationships with colleagues and help prevent situations that could otherwise become a source of negativity.

18. Recognize that you are a person like everyone else and also make mistakes sometimes.


Recognize that you are just human and that you sometimes support decisions that you don't really like.

Of course, it is very difficult to admit that you, too, are capable of contributing to the spread of negativity around you. If you learn to recognize your ability to make mistakes, it will become much easier for you to perceive the negativity of other people, and the best remedy for negativity, as you know, is tolerance. However, tolerance does not mean absorbing this negativity into oneself. Just try to create a positive environment and be a positive person.

17. Spend some time reflecting on the positive aspects of your life.


Spend some time alone every day and think about the positive aspects of your life. It is very easy to break down under the pressure of obvious negativity, but when you stop for a moment and think about your life, it becomes clear that you actually have a lot of things for which you can be grateful to fate, that is, a lot that other people do not have. .

16. Take breaks or walk alone


When you're in an extremely stressful situation and you feel like the ground is about to slip from under your feet, dropping you into an abyss of negativity, take a break and take a walk. In addition to the fact that walking reduces stress in the body, it also prevents your negative emotions from running high and causing you to say something you later regret.

15. Accept yourself as you are, along with all your flaws and virtues.


Leveling out negativity is partly about accepting yourself and learning how you can help yourself. If you fail to achieve a goal, never blame or beat yourself up for a bad decision or a mistake in judgment. Know that you are human and capable of committing offenses like all other people.

14. Try not to be overly defensive.


Try not to allow yourself to be too self-protective.
This is especially true in the workplace, where confrontations with colleagues during stressful situations are not uncommon. If someone says something negative, try not to immediately rear up. Listen to what was said and if there is a grain of truth in what was said, act accordingly. However, if there is not a grain of truth in the negative statement, don't let it offend you, stay calm and stay positive.

13. Instead of thinking about a negative situation, try to think about possible ways to solve it.


The ultimate goal is to finish the job with the best possible result. If you're thinking about a negative situation or thought, you're wasting time because things don't move forward. Instead, acknowledge the seriousness of the situation, but start thinking about possible ways to resolve it or improvements that can be made to alleviate it.

12. Ask open-ended questions


Ask open-ended questions to help identify the source of the negative situation. By asking open-ended questions like “What do you think would happen if ___?” “What would you like to know about _____?” What do you already know about _____? debated issue. This is great, as questions and discussions like this give space to the individuality and creativity of your peers and work colleagues (in a positive situation). On the other hand, closed-ended questions such as "Are you feeling better today?" "Do you think you're right?" "Which is better, green or red?" limit their responses to yes and no, which depending on the context, it can be perceived as a manifestation of confrontation. If you are trying to determine the cause of a negative situation or create a more positive solution, the best tactic is to ask open-ended questions.

11. Decide for yourself to stay calm.


We have more power over our actions than we think. The decision to become enraged or to remain rational and calm is just that - a decision. Make a conscious, purposeful decision to remain calm when negative situations arise. Not only will this help you stay calm, but it will also give you a chance to turn a negative situation into a more positive one.

10. Solve One Problem at a Time


Discuss all questions and solve one problem at a time. This will allow you to focus more effectively on finding a way out of the situation that is causing negativity in the workplace.

9. Give other people the opportunity to express their opinions


Sometimes, all it takes to reduce negativity is listening to the person. We are all human and each of us wants to be heard and appreciated.

8. Never dismiss a complaint, even if it seems very trivial.


This applies to both work and home environments. Don't make it a habit to ignore complaints, even if they seem trivial to you. If someone thought that this complaint is important, then for that person it is far from trivial. Listen to what the person is saying and try not to take it personally. A complaint can be a valuable observation worth considering. By listening to her, you will let the speaker know that you value their opinion and create a more positive and productive environment.

7. Try not to get carried away by excessive rule making


Never make rules for everyone if only a few break the rules
This is another example of advice that you can use at work or at home. If you are in a position of influence at work, try not to make too many rules. It is important to give people the freedom to express their individuality while at the same time maintaining an appropriate mode of operation. However, too many rules create a stressful environment and can be a source of negativity both at work and at home.

6. Enter suggestion box program


In most cases, problems in the workplace arise due to the fact that there is no necessary dialogue between employees and management. With the introduction of a suggestion box, employees will be able to speak freely and in this way, the management will be able to understand exactly what problems need to be solved first.

5. Sponsor company events that serve as an ideal environment for developing friendships between employees


This advice is more suitable for a work environment. It is very useful to hold an event for your employees at least once a year that can unite them. Such activities will give your subordinates a sense of fun, as well as help maintain work-life balance and make them feel highly valued.

4. Investigate Situations Involving Multiple Employees


In the workplace, sometimes problems arise that concern not one or two employees, but the whole group. Such problems contribute to the growth of negativity and they need to be addressed as soon as possible. To deal with a similar problem, try to investigate this problem and solve it in the most optimal way.

3. Always respond quickly


A quick resolution of the issue helps to get rid of the negativity in the team as soon as possible. The longer you delay and put off finding a way out of a predicament, the more the negativity grows and affects you, the people around you, and even the people you work with.

2. Always have a plan for dealing with negativity.


It's always good to have a plan for how you can deal with negativity, which means that you should think about situations that are potential sources of negativity and think ahead about your actions that will help you successfully find a way out of them. Naturally, you cannot foresee the future, but planning and thinking through different scenarios will allow you to be much better prepared for problem situations should they arise. For example, you are at work and you hear your employees gossiping about your boss. How will you deal with this negative situation? Think about it now, and if such a situation happens in real life, you will know exactly what needs to be done.

1. Stop the spread of office gossip


If you are in a leadership position, warn your subordinates about the dangers of starting and spreading gossip. Gossip is one of the most common causes of negativity in the workplace, as it causes employees to think negatively about other people and adversely affects work and interpersonal relationships in the workplace.

Negative energy can be encountered anywhere. Everywhere there are people who constantly complain about life, have bad habits and just get on your nerves. The feelings they spread greatly influence your thoughts and actions, so protecting yourself from sources of negative energy is a must if you want to be a more relaxed and happy person.

Everyone can easily give in to negative feelings, and the only exception to this is people who have figured out how to deal with them quickly. These 14 ways will show you exactly how positive people get rid of negativity. You can easily and simply use these secrets in your life.

1. Look for happiness in your inner world

Positive people don't base their happiness on external stimuli. They understand that as soon as the pathogen disappears, the mood will immediately change, and not for the better. Instead, they are constantly looking for internal sources of positive energy and practicing mindfulness.

2. Stick to the rules of positive thinking

Thoughts affect your actions, so if you think negatively, you should hardly hope for a brighter future. Don't give in to the excuses your brain makes up. Only through positive thoughts and finding the good side in any problem can you be sure that you are fully tuned only for success.

3. Believe in yourself

Never allow yourself to take negativity too personally. There will be many more people in your life whose opinion you will have to ignore, because it will be better for your nervous system. There are always endless reasons to believe in yourself, even if you feel completely helpless and worthless. Such negative thoughts are only temporary obstacles and have absolutely nothing to do with reality.

4. Avoid negative people as much as possible

Your environment has a huge impact on you, no matter how independent you consider yourself. If you spend most of your time with positive people, you are more likely to become a happy and contented person soon. On the other hand, if you are in too close a relationship with those who complain and wail, it will be much harder for you to remove negative energy from your life.

5. Exercise

Physical education is directly related to the release of endorphins, which are responsible for a good mood and sense of self. Body workouts always pay off and have the pleasurable consequences of reducing stress and increasing happiness. On the other hand, if you ignore the needs of your body, it will lead to the fact that soon enough you will experience all the negative consequences of sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle.

6. Spend more time in nature

Being in nature clears the mind and relaxes the body. Positive people always dedicate part of their day to walks in the fresh air and enjoy the beauty of our planet with pleasure. This is the best option for rest and relaxation!

7. Avoid ill-advised spending

In the modern world, discounts and sales are designed to actively compete for your attention, so now it's easier than ever to spend money on the wind. Since unplanned purchases can instantly lift our spirits, we often forget that in the long run they are unhealthy habits that successful people avoid at all costs.

8. Accept your mistakes and failures

Positive and successful people see failure as the only sure way to learn and grow. Whenever their plans and hopes are dashed, they begin to forge a new path to victory instead of giving up. Even if failure makes you feel negative, you should understand that it will pass quickly. And to speed up this process, it is enough not to give up and continue to think positively.

9. Learn to be responsible

You need to learn to always take responsibility for what happens in your life. Whether it's success or failure, it's always the result of your actions and thoughts. Instead of blaming external factors and other people, focus on the things you can improve.

10. Learn to control your thoughts

The mind can easily get out of your control due to sudden negative thoughts. Happy people know that if they cannot control their thoughts, they will instantly lose control over their actions and behavior. For this reason, many practice mind control exercises such as meditation, prayer, and others.

11. Give yourself a well deserved rest.

Instead of trying to always be right and the best, sometimes you need to slow down to reflect on your goals and secondary ambitions and just ease the load. This will allow you to avoid burnout, which always causes the accumulation of negative energy.

12. Believe that there is always a solution.

It is sometimes hopelessly difficult for everyone. At such moments, many begin to doubt their ability to solve the current problem. The fact is that there is always a way to overcome an obstacle, and positive people never let go of this thought. Even if they reach the very bottom, they believe that it will definitely happen, so that in the future they will be able to reach the very top and become even stronger.

13. Learn to say "no"

The value of saying “yes” and “no” at the right time is truly priceless. Despite the common misconception that you should always say “yes!”, both of these words are extremely powerful, and with them you control what happens in your life.

Successful people always focus on their priorities instead of pleasing others. That's why they know there are many things you don't have to say yes to.

14. Remember that you don't need everyone's approval.

If you let other people's opinions control you, it will be very difficult for you to feel happy and confident. But many people are constantly afraid of not getting praise and being criticized. You should start thinking and acting in a completely opposite way right now.

Use disapproval as an indication of the authenticity and truth of your ideas. The fact is that there are not so many things in the world in which you should be interested in the opinions of others.

Do not forget these simple but very effective rules and re-read them at least once a month for prevention. Then there will definitely be no place for negative energy in your life!

How to avoid negative impact

The influence of geopathic zones on the body cannot be avoided, but it can be weakened. The best way is to move at least to a neutral zone, but not always real life allows you to make this wise decision. Often the buildings in which people work are located in geopathic zones, but moving production to another location is usually very difficult, and it also requires large material costs. Finding another decent job for many people is quite difficult, so you have to take measures to protect the body from harmful effects. It is even more difficult with the place of residence - it is necessary to change the habitual area, the inhabited apartment, to spend forces and means on this, which in most cases are not enough, but sometimes you have to move in order to save life and health.

When you are under the yoke of constant stress, you feel that a gray cloud of negativity follows you anywhere. When interacting in society, destructive energy affects both you and those around you. But sometimes you don’t even realize that you are dragging this gray cloud behind you. Here are some signs that you are exuding these negative vibrations.

Are you sure that everyone has problems

When a negative person communicates with others, he tends to see only the bad in other people. You are sure that if you are overcome by problems, it means that other people cannot live without them.

Do you like to get other people emotional?

When you talk to someone on the phone, not a day goes by without barbs and caustic remarks. In the understanding of a negative person, productive communication is lamenting a bad life and looking for someone to blame. Also, gossip is a favorite pastime of a person who sucks emotional energy from others.

You tend to work late at night

There is a good rule: do not bring work home. When you don't complete errands on time, you steal time from your night's rest. And this means that the next day one of your colleagues will not be greeted.

tense life situation

Take a look at your living conditions. Does everything triple you in them? If you have problems with a romantic partner, their relatives or neighbors; if you feel negative after interacting with other people, it will definitely affect the vibrations that you exude.

Constant comparison with life elsewhere

You feel like you were born at the wrong time and in the wrong place. From constant comparisons with the capabilities of other people, my head hurts for a long time. When a person is sure that he is not worthy of a better fate or is unsuccessful, his self-esteem and positive energy suffer.

You feel an acute shortage of free time

Happiness cannot be achieved without maintaining an optimal balance between work and leisure. When you have an acute shortage of free time, you begin to get angry at the world. Why not give yourself the opportunity to relax a little and pamper yourself? So you get rid of the stress accumulated over a long time.

Too much time spent on social media

In addition to the negative effect of the blue glow that mobile phones emit, you received another bonus with a minus sign. Social media can greatly influence your mood. When you scroll through your news feed, you stumble upon angry and humiliating comments from strangers, envy your more successful co-workers, and become wildly jealous of your ex-romantic partner. Don't live someone else's life, focus on your own.

You have low self-esteem

When a person has low self-esteem, he tends to talk about himself only in a negative light. Think about daily positive attitudes. Their power has no limits.

There are only pessimists in your company

Stop spending time with people who are negative towards others. All conversations in your company are reduced to complaints about life. This communication model is extremely destructive.

You are closed to the world

When you come to a public place, you try not to look people in the eye and keep yourself apart. The closed position of your body is telling others, "Stay away, I'm out of sorts!"

You are passive and lazy

Traits such as unproductiveness and anxiety can also exude negative energy. Put an end to it and find passion for the soul. This will help you focus on the positive.

You rarely step outside your comfort zone

Stepping out of your comfort zone is very difficult for people who experience anxiety, fear, and failure. This life can be called running in a vicious circle, as the absence of new sensations keeps you in this negative zone.
