Learn to tackle the negative you as much as the positive

Let’s have a conversation with ourselves!!

Some negative confessions of negative people:

It’s difficult for me to speak up at the right time and therefore, I brood about it later.

I lack the courage to face the world despite being correct.

I accept people the way they are even if they bring toxic vibes in my life.

I tend to dominate when it comes to work that I am good at, consequently being despised by people around.

Nobody taught me about self-esteem.

I want to become selfless in my path towards spirituality and fulfilment but my circumstances make me the opposite to combat the big bullies.

Even when I know that I am being played at, I have a tendency to overlook and coax my internal reactions instead.

Instead remind yourself-I am an intelligent but a good person!! This affirmation needs to be swallowed, regurgitated and again swallowed instead of the consequences of a negative friend called life. To solve these negativities, yearn for your short and long-term goals. Or do some activity despite continuously addressing your shortcomings. They are so because you compare. Because you are insecure.

If you have become too negative lately, try to judge yourself according to someone else’s lenses. That’s feedback. This someone could be an absolute stranger who cannot cause more negativity. They will talk and be nice and come up with their goodness to heal you. No one deserves to be treated as crap. Everyone is negative at one point of time at least in their lives. Be understood, negative people rather than always trying to understand.

Try improving yourself even though its difficult when your own people have transformed their notions against you. Strangers on the other hand have an anonymous background. You do not know the new fitness coach you hired or the new face at your workplace. These people contribute objectively. You feel better and relaxed if not hopeful. Your family expects so much, you need a breakthrough. Your friends are so jealous that they leave no room to create disappointments in your life and laugh at your sufferings. You have become sensitive lately due to this long tenure of abandonment and scape-goatism.

Be objective to fight against your rendered highly sensitive nature. It hampers your growth and feeds your enemies with lavish food for their success.

Never try to think that you are a saint or someone bearing the wrath of people around. It could be the opposite. Actions and reactions are equal and opposite. There is no need to be overwhelmed with feelings that cannot be reciprocated. When our own family doesn’t take it, why should someone else.

So be objective like:

I am self-aware.

I have reached someplace in my journey towards success.

I need to slow down and embrace loneliness with pride.

There exists no anguish in my thoughts and actions.

There are reasons behind other people’s thoughts and actions. Let me detach for a while and continue to accomplish like a tortoise.

I am aware of my negative points. Life is a workshop where I learn to comeback and combat every day. I am among these saintly people. My family loves me despite my shortcomings.

Do not fear another human. I know my mistakes and will not repeat them.

If I shall imagine, I shall imagine good things.

Accept the fact that I am not so good. I have goals to help me survive, till I do survive. I embrace my negative self to make me achieve. Being loathsome is their viewpoint, it might be true but I have my own circumstances.

Grow up to resonate with me. Be objective and observant. Feel the truth. Feel the imaginations and live so pure that you fall in love with life for as long as it might be. Pure people also capture their mistakes. Even they are not flawless.

I am writing my piece with pure intentions; a pure soul out there might think that it is a marketing fundamental to prove my spirituality or someone might say that I have vested interest. Therefore, I said no one is flawless, be answerable to yourself and let yourself to be judged by strangers. Own people are full of feelings for or against you. So do not bother and keep going.
