Negative vibes can affect your life in an adverse way, I don’t care who you are.  The reason is because it not only impacts your day-to-day life but also the people around you.

There seems at times to be a lot of people who rather enjoy, or at least have the habit of spreading negativity in people’s lives. But do you realize that there are just as many people who love to focus on the positive as those that enjoy focusing on the negative?  Those are the type of people you need to cling to.

But what do you do when the negative person is a family member? What do you do if that person harps and harps and harps and doesn’t let up?  It’s not an easy situation, especially if the family member is someone who lives with you. But it can be dealt with.  And here are a few suggestions:

1)      Change the subject.  You have so much power in conversation, which is a two-way street after all.

2)      If the person continues to harp, try to make a joke out of whatever they’re complaining about and then steer the conversation into something positive.

3)      Walk away and spend quality time alone in a balanced and neutral state.

4)      Tell the person how much it bothers you to hear about negative things and how although you empathetic with their concerns, you’d rather not dwell on it.

5)      And if those things haven’t changed your family environment into a positive, it may be time to take steps to move into a different situation, whatever that means to you.

Your life is more important than anything and it our God-given right to expect and receive happiness.
