How to immune yourself against Negativity..
There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
Have you ever met Debbie Downer, Negative Nancy or Pessimistic Patty? These people can be so entrenched in the bad things that there isn’t any room for good things to grow. They inhabit our families and social circles. It can be emotionally draining just being around them, and you must be careful because their attitudes are contagious. Negativity perpetuates itself, breeds dissatisfaction and clutters the mind. And when the mind is cluttered with negativity, happiness is much harder to come by.
Here are ways to defend yourself against negativity:
1. Don’t take other people’s negativity personally
2. Spend more time with positive people.
3. Be the positivity you want to see in the world.
4. Change the way you think.
5. Focus on solutions and not problems.
6. Love whoever is around to be loved.
7. Provide support when it makes sense.
8. Realize that life is a series of ups and downs.
9. Concentrate on today.
10. Let go and move on when you must.
It isn’t easy to remain positive when negativity surrounds you, but remember that you have full control of your attitude. Think of it this way: An entire body of water the size of the Pacific Ocean can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship. Similarly, all the negativity in the world can’t bring you down unless you allow it to get inside your head. People who are able to discern the positive points in negative situations are the ones who prosper in the long run. So defend yourself against the ‘negative way’ and make room for a positive day.

8. Realize that life is a series of ups and downs.
I told this to my gf, and we broke up :(
"Concentrate on today", try it when you're a control freak and see if it works.
Oh deary me Prism, you really do have your head in the gutter today! I thought you were so innocent... ;-)
FS...agree this is a family site and we all must refrain from saying things like "I wanna come", "I am coming now"...:)
Wahoo! I'm definitely coming now I have a ride in Brit's passion wagon...
I know you don't have transport, so the Pink Kia + driver (Colt45) and Cheperone (moi) are available :O)
senss.. the more the merrier..you are most welcome...:)
There will be many loveable souls around so better be careful...lol
I wanna come :-(
Damn this is a family site.. guys now be decent...or MOD uncle will delete this...:)
prism, read using your specs, I wrote "i don't like boys' leg pulling :)"
don't be nervous, just change your specs :)
@ prism's questionaire :)
I am IN for coffee. I will bring along my partner Colty :) I wil make sure that he rides my ride :)
FS...yes BT is preplanned in most of the companies and that leaves some companies in which it is a mix of planned and unplanned and also depending on the role.
painther...your interest in a man is making me rather too nervous. OK let me check it out. Answer these questions of Dr. Fraud(if you prefer, you may just whisper it to me):
-How do you rate the song "aadmi hoon aadmi se pyaar karta hoon" on a scale of 1-10
- What is you opinion about the bollywood film 'Dostana"
- What is your opinion about bollywood actress 'Celina Jaitly' as a person.
Anytime.. The KIA is a babe magnet , so we'll have to dress down :O)
great post thank you
ok Prism...whatever you say...but don’t vanish after the trip okay..:) normally business trips are preplanned in most of the companies..
yea btw where is Bluebull the mystery man?
stars tell me, prism will never come to coffee meet, (now dont blame me but the heavenly stars),
..and if he comes, i'll pay the bill :)
I said stick to English... wtf is neela saand, sani, Narad Muni, Kanhaiya? :o(
neela saand.....hehehehe.....!
FS...I cant say a date now as I am due to travel anytime now and so am staying late in office....once am back from my trip can post here or else you all can suggest a date and if I am around will join.
Rizks can come with Khanan, I will try and catch a ride with Britey in his PInk Kia :o)
DAMN, m missing my ol partner...:O)
Prism you can choose the date..otherwise maybe if you are not available...its bad..:)
Risks..yes but you need to bring a partner with you..:)
Coffee invitation is for which date.
Can i join ? :(
So who all accepted the invitation? Tinker you are also invited...
Colt and Khanan you both can come as a couple..lol
i like leg pulling..but hello, i don't like boys' leg pulling :),
FS, i'm ready for the coffee with prism,... :)
Egzactly...:)
Sticking with English for several years was not very pleasant, I guess...:)
Saale...you can only pull my leg or what...I can pull leg too, seriously...:)
Painther now shake hands... I want to invite you both for coffee...If Prism acccepts the invitation..he pardoned you..if not he is still negative..:(
keep it up
tinker, thats very offensive comment to me but plz No apology, i'm still da joking :),
from heavens let me concentrate on khanan, for his chnge of gaurd...
so khanan, any latest updates?
Why? Is Colt the Coconut struggling to understand?
Hehehe Coltey.
Bloody Indianz - i say...:)
can you bloody Indians stick with English :-P
Ohh prism, my celestial studies gone haywire this time (you know those complex mathmatical calculations!!);
Ok, you're RIGHT, you’re from Jupitor NOT Saturn(as you say),
Hope this makes you HAPPY...and life goes lucky :)
..still you want an apology or anything else like a party?
Khanan you better stop looking there and look into QL..lol
Prism.. I dont know what that meant or how offensive it is...I guess probably he was kidding....Chillax!!
Stop talking nonsense or I will have to seek our new Superhero, FS' help in beating you up :o(
Lols Khanan !
FS...sorry, but I cannot continue with the disussion, which was going good for reasons you would understand.
and I am acting on Point # 6.
Looking lovingly (piyar bhari nazaro se) to the abaya clad collegaue on the other desk. :)
Colty but nothing beats loving ya behind the bushes ;)
Good for you colt...btw..where is Khanan? lol
Painther ..whata re you waiting for then...just start practcing it..you will be full of positiveness..:)
Prism...it could also be that its hard to please your taste buds..try to loosen up a bit...after all life is too short to be fuzzy..lol
painther...why would you say that for me. I find it very offensive and ask for either an apology right here on QL or satisfy me with the reason for saying so. Sorry, but this is neither lol'able nor negotiable, and I mean it.
Look over, that bugger must have fallen asleep at his desk :o(
prism, whatever you claim, you're no less than a 'sani (ki sadhe-saati)' (Eng : saturn's fire rings)
:)
I am from Jupiter...just to keep the records straight...:)
FS...I cant be looking at any other better places than I already am looking at...may be it is a question of tastes or may be my tastes are just too bad...:)
FS, where did i say I dint find one? actually i'm puzzled with overdo of it :)
wallahi, its unfair to paint me n prism with same brush...I'm from mars and he's from saturn :P
I try and stay as far as I can from that bugger ;o)
colt..perhaps all those who are around Khanan finds him Loveable including you..now dont be J..:)
Prism....then you must be looking at the wrong places..:)
@lol at coltey..
FS, i agree on no. 2 and 10 ..
FS...you are right... so far none who could be considered as loveable around me in Doha...:) Chung Li kinds, I think, dont qualify for that...:)
I think Khanan takes #6 too seriously - Love whoever is around to be loved - Male, female, even camel will do he says :-(
Everything is wrong in Doha Jadeed...:(
I remember once I and britey was walking after 8pm in the DJ street and one tall, heafty pathaan came and grabbed my pal britey from the back and till date he is not able to sit properly in a chair....:(
6 definitely :)
Risks..dont be stingy..money is to spend...and not to be buried with us when we die..:) lol
Sness..see 8...it is part of life...you will feel better..:)
Pinther and Prism...are you trying to say that you guys didnt find anyone AROUND you or arnyone LOVEABLE around you..lol
Brit..whats wrong with Doha Jadeed?
yesterday i was at Ramada car park with Xing Li and thought of spending more time with her...but she asked me to spend more money....:(
No 6: is difficult for me because i live in Doha Jadeed :O(
I try 6 but since not very positive response is there always (and obviously so) move to 8 and then to 4 and so it is back to from where I started...:(
good one,
I like no-6 (Love whoever is around to be loved) :P
I'd like to add no-11 : play some team sport; there is no better teacher than sports to human behaviour.
Thanks FS, after the month I've had I shall most definitely be taking this advice...positive thoughts all the way! X
That's it..
I'm not associating with "Thumbs-Down" Timebandit, but will stick to Positive Pauline :O)
