Learn to Distance Yourself from Negativity and Achieve Inner Peace



1. Learning to distance yourself from all the negativity is one of the greatest lessons to achieve inner peace. - Roy T Bennett




Negativity can become all consuming, it can seep in from negative people and the negative environments they create when you’re not looking. Learn how to recognise toxic people and how to protect yourself from the effects they create.



Some are obvious and are quite clearly toxic / negative, others masquerade as positive people and get you with little doses, gradually increasing the intensity and how often they hit you with it. These ones are the most dangerous because in between the toxic hits they will be charming and may even seem fun to be with.



If you can, then create a physical distance from the negativity if you can’t do that straight away, learn to be so positive you can distance yourself even whist in its presence.
