Recognizing the negativity

Most people have been in a position where they bond with a person over shared experiences. That is a great way to get to know people and to build friendships and relationships. The problems come when that shared experience is negative and holds the parties involved in that negative space, for extended amounts of time. That negative energy becomes a monster over time. That negativity is all you talk about and is the central focus of your activities. For example: a group of people sit down for drinks and talk every week, but the topic is only about how bad each of their situations are. They don't share any of their accomplishments or successes, just feeding each other negative energy. When they go their separate ways they feel worse. That atmosphere will continue to be a negative space until one of them ignites that change for positivity. People don't often look at these things as something that affects you but it does. Stepping into your magic one often will cut things they believe holds them back but will overlook certain relationships. As a spiritual person you have to learn that consumption happens at every level. The food you eat, the books you read, the shows you watch and the conversations you engage in all count. I'm not saying leave those relationships behind but to evaluate how you connect to people. Be mindful of your patterns of speech and behaviors. You can not control someone else but you can control yourself. If you find yourself easily falling prey to that negative energy do some shadow work to see why that happens. Just because something is one way doesn't mean it has to remain that way. Isn't that why we practice magic anyway?😘
