How to Deal with Negative People - a podcast by Brendon Burchard

Negative people will always be around, so here’s some ideas to help you deal with them:

1. Use their energy. Use this experience as a personal challenge to stay centered and remain in charge of your own energetic and emotional levels. Let negativity be a cue to breathe and challenge yourself. Isn't this an empowering thought? Rather than allowing someone’s negativity to reduce you to the victim role let it remind you that you are in command of your thoughts and emotions.

2. Empathize. We really don’t know someone’s entire story. Isn't it true that we all have bad days? Don't you get negative once in a while? If so, then instead of getting mad or fighting, seek to understand what someone is facing or going through. That’s how we tap into our own humanity and compassion, and those thing become a flood of good energy that washes away the negativity. Compassion wins.

3. Shift it. Instead of pointing out someone’s negative energy, you can use tools like humor, appreciation and playfulness to shift the energy. Take it as another challenge to introduce positivity to the scene. Not only will this skill help the person you're dealing with, it’ll also help you develop your leadership skills and your capacity to start movements.

4. Enroll them. Instead of blaming or labeling "negative" people in hopes of making them change, you can simply make a direct request. Ask that they bring more awareness to their energy in order to improve your relationship and time together. Invite them to take power and responsibility over the direction and positivity of your relationship.
