One of the most common questions asked is how to deal with a spouse, relative or close friend who has a tendency to be negative. In many situations you can’t simply walk away and spend all your time with positive people. Imagine for a moment that your spouse, relative or friend is like a glass that is filled with a dark liquid which represents their negativity.
A lot of people try to rectify this situation by saying things like, "I really wish you’d stop being so negative all the time!"
The problem with this approach is that criticism is a form of negative energy and you are therefore adding more negativity to the situation which usually makes things worse not better.
