Often a person does not suspect that he is capable of infecting his loved ones, friends and acquaintances with negative emotions. This "virus" can be easily transmitted between people, and it is impossible to notice how sometimes you become its hostage for a very long time.
It is not always easy to cope with negativity or emotions on your own, which bring discomfort, stress, bad mood, and even can dramatically worsen your health. Among the people with whom you have to communicate every day, there may be those who are constantly in the negative. But if these are relatives, work colleagues or bosses, there is no way to just take and stop contact with them.
How does negative emotions become infected and what can you do to protect yourself from it?
Emotions in a person are concentrated in the upper body. With negative emotions, a person lowers his shoulders, squeezes his chest, crosses his arms and legs and tries in every way to protect himself from an emotional attack. When protection is no longer required, the body releases and even feels like it becomes easier to breathe.
It is important to understand that if someone accidentally touched you on the street or in transport and “poured out” their negativity on you, scolded, called or even just looked askance, then this is not so scary. But what a person receives in the form of negative emotions during regular contact with "carriers of the bad mood virus" can really become a problem.
In order to prevent "infection", you should pay as little attention as possible to those negative emotions that a person conveys to you. Try to diffuse your attention so that you are both present and absent from the conversation. You can think about something pleasant, send love and goodness to the speaker, look at him, but at the same time, as if not to see.
After a while, you suddenly notice that the person began to turn to you less, while at first glance you did nothing for this. Better yet, if you are in any way convenient for you to reduce communication with negative-minded people, referring to being busy, headache, fatigue, or something similar. This is a kind of "surgical" method of removing those who are unpleasant to you.
Psychological protection is possible in any situation. But it is important to know for sure and understand that aggression and negative emotions are just the release of the negative of the person who is next to you. He does not know how to do otherwise, but for you it is paramount to protect yourself. Any aggressor or negative person is trying to drag you into a conflict. If you succumb to this influence, then a chain reaction will arise, which will lead to the fact that you begin to take off your emerging aggression or anger on others. And so it will go on forever.
If you carefully monitor your own emotions after unpleasant communication, you will see that very often you continue to conduct an internal dialogue, prove something, come up with a terrible continuation of the story, imagine something that does not and will not happen, because the conversation is over. Thus, you increase the influence of negative emotions and bring yourself to a nervous breakdown. And these emotions give rise to new ones, dragging you into a whirlpool of negativity, from which it becomes very difficult to get out on your own.
To get rid of unnecessary emotions, you can cry, shout, beat the pillow, or find any other way that will allow you to discharge yourself, calm down and throw off everything that causes discomfort and leads to stress.
Do not accumulate negative emotions in yourself and do not try to dump them on others, because in this case the boomerang rule will definitely work.
