Negativity is a disease that can affect anyone and cripple your mind. When you are feeling lonely, afraid, angry or anxious, these feelings build up inside you and if you don't do anything about it, you become a negative person. Luckily, for us, there are ways to combat negative energy. When you are feeling angry or stressed out, hit the gym. Working out always relieves me of tensions from the outside world. I feel like I have my own little private time channeling my negativity into something healthy. This is also beneficial because working out releases endorphins in our brains and creates a positive attitude. Don't you always way feel better after a run or a hard workout?

A mentor of mine told me when he is frustrated, he cleans vigorously. I asked him why and he responded: "I clean more thoroughly when I am frustrated, I do a better job when I am down." I found this interesting that when feeling negative, he used a different method not as obvious as the most common "work-out." Nothing is more positive than having a clean home or a healthy body. The point to gather is figuring out a way to channel frustrations life has to offer every day into a positive act, instead of remaining negative. When you feel negative, you slack at school, you slack at work, and you are definitely not anxious to go out into the social world. It is important to never let your negativity grow and don't feel bad about having bad feelings. Everybody has bad days when you are feeling stressed and unmotivated. As humans, it is natural to feel that way. The secret is letting it out in a positive exercise that can help cleanse your body and soul. Sometimes when I am feeling negative, I will write a story about a person who is negative as well. Reading all the bad character traits reminds me to change my attitude before I end up like this character. I keep those little journals to myself and monitor the feelings of negativity. Everybody can find their positive channel or deep down, knows it already. Use these positive channels to manifest a better life for yourself.

I want to spread positivity and the means to be positive. If you feel bad, go to the gym and get those endorphins pumping or maybe wash your car so it shines like a mirror but definitely do not remain negative. The world needs you! Stay in the game and stay focused. Channel your energy into positivity and I guarantee you that your true potential will be unleashed!
