I think that being kind is my biggest way to get rid of negativity! Whenever I’m in a really bad mood, I remind myself to be as kind as possible, and it always ends up making me feel better!

I love this post, so many great tips. Personally I find that smiling and being nice to others helps when negativity creeps in. Also when negativity creeps into my life these days it’s often because someone has hurt my feelings. When this happens I remind myself that that person is probably hurting and that is why they are mean or rude so I tell myself to be the better person and keep trying to send positivity their way. Thank you for sharing I absolutely love this post.

You’re so right! That’s such a great point. Often we forget to take a minute and put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. You never know what someone else might be going through. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts xx

Thanks for sharing this post Jess! I totally agree about your point on reality television. I notice that after watching certain reality shows like real housewives and Bachelor/Bachlor in Paradise I feel more stressed. Watching all the anger, yelling, negativity and backstabbing starts to get to you after a while. I try to remind myself that it isn’t “reality” but I think some of our lives would be better without those types of shows.
Have a wonderful week!

I wrote a similar post today about easy ways to take care of yourself. In this social media age, it’s so hard to remember to properly take care of yourself. I love your tips on negativity!

Great post! I love all of these tips. One thing I find that helps get me out of a negativity funk is just listening to some good music. It always lifts my spirits and gets me into a positive place. It’s surprising how powerful music can be sometimes. That and hanging out with the pups =)

love this post and I’m with you on the reality TV I think it brings the worst out of people, but I’m sure some are more positive. Also reading business related and even self help books is much more enjoyable to me.

Such a great, great post! I find it that getting rid of people who are “emotional vampires” from my life, detoxing from social media and being grateful are the best ways for me to have much less negativity in my every day life.

Thank you for mentioning television. While everything is not all terrible (I watch shows like everyone else) I don’t think people realize how much a show can really influence your mood. My siblings and I grew up without a television (we had a screen and would rent/buy films and shows we wanted) and many people thought we were extremely sheltered and closed off but that wasn’t the case at all! We just understood that certain media could negatively affect us, and we chose to watch and take in the things that we found good. I think in general people are willing to admit when a movie, film, book, or show does something good for them, but they don’t often take the perspective that something could be bringing them down. It is defintely a quieter way negativity can sometimes enter our lives. Thanks for sharing!

You are the best, Jess! Just what I needed to read today! Thanks. xo

I loooove the idea of assessing your friends. I realized recently that I have a friend group who just talks badly about everyone, and it was such a downer. It was like they loved when others failed. Schadenfreude to the max. Not healthy! do you do Pure Barre? It is my absolutely favorite workout. It’s so fun to be around such kind people, too!

I absolutely loved this post! I’m totally bookmarking it for the future. The one I struggle with is negative people, and unfortunately most of that is related to family. I agree, that family is complicated, so the best thing you can do is to limit your time and energy with people (family members) that create negativity in your life!

Such a lovely post. All your points are dead on. Assessing my friend group one I have to do.

I woke up this morning I was definitely headed towards a depressive episode (UGH). So, I’ve been going through my favorite blogger’s pages to find some uplifting reads and this one I needed. On eliminating reality tv… I’ve even eliminated negative tv, too. I’ve found everyone I know loves loves loves the office because it’s hilarious and accurate. I just can’t get myself to watch it because the underlying negative tone and themes make me really sad and uncomfortable. everyoen honestly make sme feel crazy for this. Reading this article helped me realize I’m not the only one whos impacted from consuming negative thins, even something as small as a tv show.
