15 Tips to Stay Positive in Negative Situations
By Donald Latumahina, September 10, 2007
There are times when we must go through negative situations. Maybe people say something negative about us, or they show rejection or even resentment against us. In such situations, it may be difficult to stay positive. We may be inclined to react negatively to them. That won’t do us any good though; doing so will just make the situation worse. People may behave even more negatively to us. Our day would be filled with anger and disappointment. At the end, nobody wins.
Though it’s not easy, it’s important to stay positive in negative situations. Beat the negative situations by staying positive. Here are 15 tips on how to do it; pick the ones that work for you:
1. Never respond when you are not calm. If you are not sure that you are calm, don’t respond. Take time to calm yourself down first.
2. Take a deep breath as a first step to calm yourself down.
3. Speak in gentle tone to reduce the tension of the situation.
4. Realize that you can find opportunities in negative situations. Albert
Einstein said: “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.”
5. Look at the content of what people say to you for something positive that you can act upon to improve yourself. Don’t just reject the whole messages.
6. For the rest of the messages which is negative, simply ignore it.
7. Maintain positive view of the people. Maybe you don’t like their messages or behavior, but that doesn’t mean that you can hate them personally.
8. Realize that having negative feelings will just hurt you, not them. So there is no reason for you to have any negative feeling.
9. If you make mistakes, be open to admit it.
10. If you make mistakes, remember this quote by George Bernard Shaw: “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”
11. If you can, listen to motivational audio program to feed positive thoughts into your mind.
12. Talk to a positive friend who can encourage you.
13. Remember your favorite quotes to give you inspiration and motivation. This is one reason why you should have quote of the day.
14. Look at the negative situations as your training sessions for real life. The higher you climb in life, the worse the negative situations would be, so you’d better be prepared for them.
15. Realize that you can’t please everyone. In fact, nobody can. Sometimes you need to just let some people go. Realizing this will relieve you from a lot of unnecessary burden so that you can focus on the people that you can positively interact with.

During Huang Dis reign, a descendent called Yu Lei was awarded the land of Fang (north west of Nanyu) for his contributions in defeating a foreign tribe. He was thus known as Fang Lei, and his descendents were given the last name Fang. Ji Yuan is considered as another forefather of the Fangs. Ji was a general of Zhou Xuan Wang, and was known for his contributions in conquering the north and the south. Since his nickname was Fang Shu, the king awarded him the last name of Fang.

Electric Wind in the Laboratory
Laboratory arcing experiments continue to support a claim made by proponents of the "Electric Universe"—A common speculation is that the surface material is easily erodible pyroclastic ash. Close observation, however, shows that the channels were not caused by flowing liquid. They are flat-floored depressions—either scooped out or collapsed. Similar shallow channels elsewhere on Mars are sometimes attributed to wind erosion. That explanation is excluded in this case because of the channels’ radial arrangement.
Surface etching by an electrical wind, however, accounts for more than the radial channels. It also accounts for the extensive flat valley floors that have no apparent connection to flowing liquid of any kind. It connects them to electrical discharge machining and to electrical etching of the whole region.

Good advice soglad.;)
I lived with someone who was a perverse narcissist for 24 years (My monster father) and he would project his sick self hatred mainly on to me.
He would committ acts of psychological/physical torture on me and tried his best to brainwash me into having his beliefs and being like him.
So i left home last year, we haven't talked since then and my life has improved massively.
I've become more positive and i'm with the people who care about me most now.

Now since your re energised, would it not be a great thing on all behalves to return to him, and save him from his ship he has unknowinly self sunk due to the natures of so called reality you yourself have begun to understand and escape from... I understand some people are like that and hard to understand... but in the end... its better to get rid of your face when it comes to parents. For you will rest knowing you have turned into something they would be proud of... and they will not only have given life to earth, they would have been in a sense saved from themselves by that very life they created- and in some cases neglected... which would make it an even higher contribution to not only our true God, but your father too! :)
I have gone through lots of psychological shit due to words and parents... but in the end... Im going to do what I believe is right... Not what my ego believes to be...
good luck buddy

Here are a few more tips:
16. In a negative situation, remain feeling good inside.
17. Aim at solving problems directly.
18. Act with your whole body, not just with you mind.
19. By being grounded in a healthy emotional state you can walk through hell as if it was a walk in the park.
20. Take control over time in the most convenient way possible.

Why remain positive in a negative situation? If a magnet were to remain positive, it would just attract more negative. Negative repels negative. ABSB

The Law of Attraction works the other way around some claim, as in gravity where same attracts same.
But we can also look at it from another perspective. The brain needs the negativity, or it would just fool itself, but the heart needs a healthy flow that often is blocked by negative thoughts. The trick would be to still be able to process negative thoughts, while remain having a good and flowing feeling in the heart.
