How can you continue to grow if 'these' people keep trying to hold you back?


Here are 7 key tips on how to Deal With Negative People

-Don't Engage in the Negativity: This is a tough one. You have to overpower their negativity with your Positivity.

-Hang Out in Groups: Misery loves company. Well it works the other way too. Surround your Negative Nancy with some of your Best Positive Upbeat Friends.

-Objectify the Comments Made: Don't always take the comments they say personal. Sometimes it is just the way they are and it is not directed towards you personally.

-Go with Lighter Topics: If the topic gets to be too much...Change it.

-Be Mindful of the Time You Spend with Them: According to Jim Rohn, "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with". If that is the case, I would start filling up your time with your positive friends so you don't have as much time to spend with your negative peeps.

-Identify Areas You Can Make a Positive Change: Sometimes it may be something specific that is making that person negative (relationship, job, they are FAT, etc...). See if there is a way you can help fix the problem and eliminate their negativity for good.

-Drop Them From Your Life: If all else fails. Drop them like its HOT! You only have one life to live. Don't let others drag you down. Cut them out. I know I've had to do it before. It may suck in the beginning but its better in the long run.
