Positive and Negative Vibrations
June 14th 2007 06:06
Hello Everybody,
I would like to talk to today about the people and relationships that are closest to us and how they may affect us. We may not give much thought to this, but we are likely to be much like the people we most come in contact with. If you predominantly hang around people that bring you down, guess what you're going to feel pretty bad most of the time. Hang around these people long enough and you're going to be seriously depressed.
In the same way if we hang around people that make us feel uplifted and positive, we are going to feel great. Ever notice how light your soul feels after being with somebody who inspires you and is genuinely positve? It has been said in different ways by different people. "Birds of a feather flock together." Also, "show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are." These old sayings are bascially saying the same thing in that it has been said, that we are most influenced by the five people we spend the most time with during the day. Wow, you better make sure you're spending time with upbeat, positive people you like or chances are you're not going to feel too great.
Over time this can have serious ramifications. We can feel drained, depressed, and in extreme cases we can manifest physical dis-ease. It's a known fact that anger and high-blood pressure are well correlated. So if you don't like your work environment, relationship, friends, etc. we can actually be making ourselves sick with the people we hang around.
The wonderful thing is though, we get to choose who we hang around and spend time with. If you notice that certain people constantly bring you down, or you just feel drained after speaking with them, this is a pretty good indicator that they are a pretty negative force in your life. On the other hand, if after speaking to somebody in particular you notice you feel lighter or uplifted, then this is a person who is probably very positive and healthy to be around.
The good news is that we have a choice, and we don't have to hang around people who make us feel bad. I know some of you are thinking, "well I have to spend time with my family." Uh No, you don't, but that's a choice we all have to make. While they may not intentionally know they are negative, they just are programmed that way from their own experiences.
Often times has nothing to do with you, but rather their own early life experiences. They still can impact you in a dramatically negative way. The idea is to detach with love. If these are people "you have" to deal with, (although I would argue it's not healthy to be around them at all) you can detach with love. With this you might be civil and "do what you have to do" with these people, you don't let them get too close. The reason being that they will cotinue to drain you of your precious energy.
There are some who are so negative that after even spending only a few minutes with them you feel like you've been slimed! You have with their negativity! And guess who the negative people are attracted to, yep you guessed it...YOU!
Now the best thing we can do is to gravitate towards people that are of like mind in that they are positive. If you want to become successful at something ask somebody who has already done or has what you want. It has been stated to me as "ride on the coat tails of those who are already are successful." These people are the ones who have smiles on their faces and don't get caught up in all the petty stuff. They know that it's all petty. They also understand that life is short and who wants to hang out with people that just make you feel bad.
All successful people have a small group of people that they can hang out with and who are very positive and supportive. They encourage each other and listen to one anothers ideas and genuinely care for one another. They have your best interest at heart and want to see you succeed. These people are usually of high caliber and rare in that they want to add to life and create not take and see what they can get for free.
They give suggestions and solutions and don't dwell on the problem. These people are doers and not talkers. They are the first to arrive and the last to leave. They are people with integrity and their friendship only becomes more endearing as time goes on as we learn more about them. These are the real gems. When you find people like this that mirror who you are as well, you hold on to them lightly and allow for the friendship to breathe. You nurture it and give it the space and freedom it desires just as you do. You water it and watch it grow and you don't judge it or condemn it, but treat it with honesty, dignity, and respect. And when you hold it up to the light you see that it glows with a radiance that can only be described as LOVE.
Peace and Love,
George
