Inner Peace - How to Stay Positive When Dealing With Negative People By Antionette R Tate
You may have limited control over your circumstance but you can have total control
over your emotional response to your circumstance. In this article you are going to
learn two things that you can do to have total control over your emotions and have a
positive response in a negative situation or dealing with negative people every time. The
two steps are 1) Identify your triggers and 2) Replace your negative thoughts with
positive actions.
Step #1: Identify Your Triggers
1. Keep a journal of all of the things that ticks you off for a week
2. Each time that you are ticked off, ask yourself "Why do I react negatively to this
situation?" "What is it about this particular situation that gets to me in this way?"Write
down your thoughts in numerical sequence in your journal.
3. At the end of the week, review your journal and identify what you were thinking each
time that you felt ticked off.
Step #2: Replace Negative Thoughts with Positive
Action
1. Now that you are able to identify the reasons why dealing with negative people and
situations tick you off, your next step is to write out several positive ways that you can
respond to each of the items that you listed in your journal that ticks you off.
2. Practice role-playing with a partner. Pretend that you are in a particular situation or
you are in the presence of dealing with negative people that tick you off.
3. You should practice until you are comfortable responding positively to the negative
situation so that when you encounter this negative situation again, you are not
triggered to respond with negative actions.
The way that you are going to maintain a state of inner peace is by not being stressed
out. You have to learn how to be positive and stay calm in situations that are negative.
At the end of this exercise, you will be able to
take positive actions the next time
that you encounter negative people and negative
situations because you will not be taken off guard.
You will not respond based on your emotional state at the time of the negative event
because you will be prepared to recognize your triggers and you will be well rehearsed
on how to take positive actions when you are faced in your trigger situations.
