Tips on managing negative people in your life

December 5th, 2007

Each of us probably has a friend, colleague, spouse or relative who is always complaining and whining about something or the other.

There are many such complainers in the world. These people have a habit of looking for faults in almost everything and are never fully satisfied. What’s worse is that they will also try to make other people adopt their negative point of view.

I don’t know exactly what causes people to be negative or bitter? And it may not be possible to entirely eliminate negative people from your life.

How do you handle such people? What are the proper methods of dealing with negative people?

You need to know how to deal with negative people properly. This is important from a leadership point of view too. Otherwise the things said by negative people might also rub off on you and you too might be affected by their opinions.

The proper way of managing negative people in your life is to respond to their negative views with your own positive ones. Do not try to argue with them and try to make them see sense in your outlook.

Instead of arguing with them, listen calmly to what they say. Then give your own positive response in a non-challenging, non-argumentative way.

Chances are that either they will also start looking at the brighter side of things, or atleast they might stop bothering you after some time if you persist with this method. Either way, this approach is much better at managing negative people rather than simply arging with them to take on a more optimistic view of things.

How Many Times?

November 22nd, 2007

How Many Times?

By: Jolanda Leuschner

Three children with three different characters. Children have the genes of both parents no matter if we can deal with this at times or not. To me my children are all three special, wanted and important. Their future is in my hands and as a single mother my guidance is important.

Yes, I am a single mother by choice for many reasons though. My major concern is to be able to raise my sons in a loving and caring home environment. After dealing with mental, emotional, and physical abuse for ten years I managed to get away with my children. It did take me 7 times to get away from our abuser before I realized this was not going to ever change.

Cold reality followed us on our way out the door. A clear message was sent that no matter what would happen he was not going to pay child support. To our children the message was if your mother dares to leave remember she will not be able to feed, dress, or shelter you!

Well so far I have managed just fine and my children have clothing, food and shelter. Besides all of this they have love and a loving guide to keep them on a straight path. The saying sometimes it takes a village to raise a child is oh so true. For the past three years we needed counseling and extra assistance. In every way you could imagine. I would be the last person on this world to tell anyone in a similar situation that it is going to be easy to get away and to stay away. Yet, it is not impossible!

Here are a few tips and ideas to follow if you are in a situation like my children and I were.

1. Keep talking to people …tell as many people as you possibly can what situation you are in. If you got isolated from having friends, try telling a teacher a neighbor anyone that is still able to come around you without having to fear trouble.

2. Remember there are shelters to assist you.

3. If you need help your local Social Services will assist you.

4. Call the police or get out of the house and notify police of the situation.

5. Keep records of what was said and what was done….this is not only for later times but it can also help yourself from losing all self esteem.

6. If you look in a phone book you can also find local resources to assist you.

7. Keep in mind you are not alone even if you are lead to believe you are.

8. Last but not least always keep in mind you do not deserve any abuse!

Please do not wait until it is too late, you are wanted by more people around you then you realize at this time!

Our lives have turned around and have been upside down, but we are happy and safe now. You can do it also and you are no matter what still a valuable person even if you end up raising your child or children by yourself.

What is the law of attraction?

November 20th, 2007

The Law of Attraction is one of the most powerful laws in our universe.

It states that “like attracts like”and that “what you thing about - comes about”

This means that your thoughts actually become things, or experiences.

You call upon the kinds of experiences with the kind of thoughts that you hold in your head.

The deeper the thought and the stronger the feeling that is attached to this thought, the faster and clearer the manifestation appears in your reality.

This can be both good and bad: If your thoughts are positive, and the feelings attached to those thoughts are positive as well, then the manifestation will be a positive one.

But unfortunately, most of the time we are dwelling on our past hurt and disappointments, and these come already with the feelings of hurt, anger or disappointment with them, and thus we will attract only more hurtful and disappointing experiences.

Are we doomed to live a miserable life then?

The answer is absolutely not!

The key element is that when you decide to think positive things and feel positive emotions, they will immediately overpower hundreds if not thousands of the previous negative ones, this way you can start changing your life for the best in not time at all.

How can this be achieved?

Most mentors teach you that the best way is to write affirmations stating the “reality” that you wish to experience in present tense, and express in the affirmation the attached emotion that you wish to experience.

Like so: “I feel happy and joyful now that I am earning 100 dollars per day, and that money comes to me easily and effortlessly in ever increasing quantities in perfect ways to everyone involved”.

The idea behind it is to manipulate your subconscious into believing that what you are saying is true.

This is the same idea as saying that repeating the same lie over and over again will eventually make it true.

This unfortunately for many, is not the case. Very few people can achieve any results won’t mentioning using this method.

Another method that is recommended by most mentors is to visualize the things you desire, or the experience you wish to have in vivid ways.

An example is to close your eyes, and picture yourself inside the car of your dreams, picture yourself holding the steering wheel, listening to the sound of the motor while you speed, the lights, the sounds, and feeling the emotion it would feel when you are actually driving your car… and now that you can (if you can) have this vivid image in your head, to hold it for as long as you can and repeat this process as often as possible.

Unfortunately for most people, this again is something that the majority cannot successfully achieve. most people cannot visualize at all, and from the few that can only a small percentage can actually do it for longer than a minute (if at all).

These are the reasons why people fail to manifest when they follow the advice of the mentors.

The mentors themselves have been able to achieve results using this techniques, but only because there is one missing piece to the puzzle that they are unaware of. You see, when you do something that comes naturally to you, you rarely take the time to think of the possibility of others not having that same natural skill or ability, it is only after you see others having difficulty with it that you can understand that what you have is a gift, and thus you can teach others how to develop that gift in them.

But what if that certain gift was hidden inside your brain, what if it is something so subjective that really it is not even noticeable when someone can or cannot do it?

This is exactly what is happening, the people who are successful are only successful because they have tapped into something in their minds that they automatically assume that others have it “naturally”.

This thing is the key to manifesting, and it is so important, that with it you do not even need to say affirmations or visualize!

That thing is your imagination, and with your imagination you can attract the things you desire into your life fast!

But in order to make your imagination work for you, you must learn the proper procedure, there are simple and easy steps that anyone can follow to make your imagination work for you and to attract the things you desire in life.

You can be, do or have anything you want, and it is all within reach, you just have to know how to use your imagination to achieve it all.

Hundreds of people are now using this knowledge and their lives are improving every day.

To learn more on how to use your imagination and the power of your mind go to Law of Attraction Videos.
