If I feel bad, I know that real world is not unhappy, but emotions make me feel unhappy. So I let emotions to stay until I get bored, and then I get back to happiness.

Fighting negativity is like using a flamethrower to fight a flame. It makes the fire bigger.

You just need emotions to flow until they deplete their energy. The problem of emotions is that you may think emotional state change perception of reality and even the logic and thoughts, distorting your reality. If you are not aware that what you feel it is is not real, you may be living a nightmare.

But when you understand emotions are a veil before a happy reality, you are likely to tolerate them.

Notice that negativity and self punishment are different. If you are negative because you feel guilty about something, you may need to heal your guilt.

Wink A new way of looking at it!

There are some different things that work for me in times that I have to be around negative people. First off, I stay very conscious, I use my physiology by keeping very good posture. The human body is amazing. A half inch difference of straightening your posture can make a big emotional shift. I then mentally remind myself that no one can make me feel anything, only I give myself that authority.

I know it's not always easy to do this but I swear that practice make perfect. Also remember that many people live their lives as a very childish level of awareness. Nothing against them. But, when they are reacting, they are reacting like a child would. When I see this behavior, I see it as a chance to be the adult in the situation and be compassionate. People don't really mean to be negative and grumpy, they are just doing the best they can with where they are at in their lives.

Kind of a different take on this and I hope it helped.

what you are saying is absolutely right.

but what i am asking is also some different thing and situation.

for example if i am going somewhere, or in queue, or with some stranger
or in with some group of people
and at that time some conversation happen which are nagative.. and you can't do give lecture about positivity at that time and you have to go to that level and then raise awareness of mass and your own.. I am taking the similar situation .. what are the best weapones, tools and technique can help us be positive, on purpose and in higher conscious awareness..

One way is to get out of it ..

what are the other ways ?
