Negative & Positive Energy

Been thinking about the Negative and Positive impacts people have on each other's lives.

Some people exude Positive energy and can make the people around them feel wonderfully happy. Others give off a Negative energy and tend to drag the people around them into a black hole.

I have been trying very hard to surround myself with Positive people. Up until 2 months ago, I had been such a source of Negative energy. Therefore in my journey towards Positivity, I have been trying to surround myself with people who give off Positive energy. My therapist has also advised me to draw clear boundaries and stop trying to be responsible for what other people do. This ranges from family to friends and even casual acquaintances.  The difficult part about it is that I care for a lot of these people and it frustrates me when I cannot help them. But I am learning to slowly let go and recognise that I cannot help the world. At the same time, I am trying to be a Positive impact on other people's lives.

I have been happy recently. Various people have touched my life and I am glad to have gotten to revisit some old friendships. I know who are the people who are truly there for me at my darkest moments and I appreciate every comforting word, helping hand and affectionate hug.

These are good times and I refuse to be dragged into another cycle of Negativity. I will surround myself with Positivity and get myself balanced again. Only then can I start caring for others once more.
