How Negative Energy Affects Your Life and How to Clear It

You know that like attracts like, right? So hereโ€™s the deal: Positive people are drawn to positive energy; negative people are drawn to negative energy. Read on to know how negative energy affects your life.

We tend to perceive negative energy as something other people have. Sure, sometimes we feel negative โ€“ as in, โ€œgo away and leave me alone, world!โ€ but did you know that negativity can be so ingrained in you that it goes unnoticed?

Thatโ€™s because negativity sometimes wears a disguise called โ€˜realityโ€™. Itโ€™s easy to rationalize that youโ€™re โ€˜just being realisticโ€™ in not daring to act on a dream โ€“ and believe it!

You may assume that positive people are not being realistic โ€“ that theyโ€™re being naive, that they are in denial with their heads stuck in the sand, that they put on fake smiles in the face of difficulty and so forth.ย  But are they really happy idiots or is there something to their positivity?

Consider this: since when does โ€˜being realisticโ€™ necessarily mean that things will go wrong and that you have to accept that as the truth?

That doesnโ€™t mean that being realistic is automatically negative. When you view the world from a โ€˜realisticโ€™ standpoint, you canโ€™t help but be negative IF your version of reality is negative.

If your version of reality is negative, you are conditioned to believe that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong and whatever can go right, will probably go wrong too. Your unconsciously held beliefs make you into a negative person without your being aware of it!

Negative Energy affects your life! So โ€“ if this negativity is so ingrained in you that you donโ€™t notice it, how do you determine whether youโ€™re stuck in a cloud of negative energy that is attracting the wrong people, wrong situations and wrong feelings? And how can you be sure youโ€™re not perpetuating that negativity?

Hereโ€™s a quick quiz to gauge the level of negative energy within you:

  1. Do you complain? All the time or just sometimes?
  2. Do you often discuss whatโ€™s wrong in the world more than whatโ€™s right? This includes the โ€˜terribleโ€™ weather, โ€˜horribleโ€™ traffic, โ€˜idioticโ€™ government, โ€˜lousyโ€™ economy, โ€˜stupidโ€™ in-laws, etc.
  3. Do you criticize? All the time or just certain people?
  4. Are you attracted to drama and disaster (can you unglue yourself from the TV when thereโ€™s a news story of a disaster and can you avoid getting involved in the lives of dysfunctional celebrities?)
  5. Do you blame? All the time or just certain situations?
  6. Do you believe that you have no control over most of your results?
  7. Do you feel like a victim? Do you talk about people doing things to you?
  8. Are you grateful for what is or will you be grateful when things finally start going right for you?
  9. Do you feel like things are happening to you? Or do you feel that they are happening through you?

These last two points are important:

If youโ€™re not grateful except when things go right, you are negative. Gratitude is positive. If you are grateful for what is (including the unpleasant school of life lessons, then you can invite more and more positive energy into your life.

Believing that things happen to you puts you in the role of victim; then itโ€™s easy to be negative because itโ€™s convenient to give up that power. So consider this alternative: who or what is to blame when GOOD things happen to you?

Do you acknowledge that you are responsible for the good things โ€“ as in, you worked hard, you earned it, etcโ€ฆ but blame external events or other people for your failures? So how come, when good things happen, they are a result of what you do, but when bad things happen, they are not your fault?

Nobody likes to hear that. It takes courage to accept that you create your life experience!

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you are holding on to negative energy to some degree! To clear your negative energy and raise your vibration, you will need to retrain yourself to choose a positive attitude.

energy is contagious

Hereโ€™s another interesting idea to consider: have you noticed that positive people seem to get what they want out of life, and even if things donโ€™t go their way, they still enjoy their livesโ€ฆ while negative people whine and moan about their misfortunes and even the good things in their lives?

To clear negative energy, try this 3 -step process

1. Take ownership:

โ€œWhen you think everything is someone elseโ€™s fault, you will suffer a lot. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy.โ€ โ€“ the Dalai Lama

2. Cancel negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts.

This takes practice, dedication and making a decision to see the world through the eyes of โ€œwhat can go rightโ€ instead of โ€œwhat can go wrong.โ€ Youโ€™ll have to catch yourself anytime you are acting out or speaking out your negativity, and immediately change your tune.

3. Use the Love or Above Spiritual Toolkitย to clear your energy and bring more light and love into your life;

Visualize the positive instead of getting sucked into negativity; overcome past conditioning; think intuitively from the soul instead of from โ€˜realityโ€™; create a new, desired reality in your imagination and manifest it in the outer world.

Nobody wants negative energy to permeate their lives, yet many of us allow it. But we allow it unconsciously, based on past conditioning that suggests an inevitable outcome to certain situations.

When you overcome that conditioning and realize that the future is NOT cast in stone but that you have more control over your circumstances than you believe โ€“ then you can begin to consciously design your life.

Whatโ€™s going to happen then? Your positive energy will magnetically attract what you consider to be good and right for you: people, situations, thingsโ€ฆ and youโ€™ll notice a huge, huge increase in your happiness and inner peace.

Why not choose positive energy? Make some changes within, and youโ€™ll quickly see positive changes in your life. Enjoy the good feelings and abundance!
