How To Handle Negativity

Question:

How do you maintain a high enough level of consciousness when someone throws a ball of negativity at you, so that you don’t feel resentment and anger afterward?

Answer:

Just be yourself and let your natural response be what it is. If you are having a strong emotional response to a situation, then that is your present experience, then that what is happening. You can’t have a honest spiritual reaction to negativity by trying to be loving and accepting. Take your reaction as an opportunity to heal the part of you inside that takes it personally and as a way to correct the voice inside that buys into or feels threatened by that negativity. You begin by noticing your reaction without judgment or blame. That part of you that can witness your emotions, is your higher self, that is beyond any hurt feelings or anger. As that silent self becomes stronger and more dominant than your ego, it becomes easier to let go of the resentment afterward, and you will find that over time you will also be less and less reactive to the negativity when it occurs.
