Dear sadiegirl,
I am not sure if I can be of any help here, but my heart goes out to you. It must be so hard to be with someone negative day in and day out. Let’s hope that it is just a phase and he will grow out of it. As for you, I suggest finding time for yourself. Focus on eating well, get as much rest as you can get. Our mood is very much affected by how we feel physically. That is something we can do – treat ourselves better. Read up on meditation if you haven’t tried it. Give it a try even if you think it’s too strange to just sit quietly and do nothing. There are so many wonderful free videos on youtube.com. You can search with phrases like “meditation music”. A little while ago, I found Mooji on youtube and he really helped me. Also, search for Ralph Smart. He made a video on how to not take on other people’s negative energy. Keep listening and some of these wonderful wisdom will stick. I just know that once you’re more in tune with yourself through solitude and self nourishment, it is a little easier to deal with difficult people around us.We somehow come to an understanding as to why they act a certain way. We see them as lost souls. We start praying for them, and in turn letting go of hurt. They might in turn see the change in us, start to wonder why they don’t have much power over us any more. “What you fight, you give the power to.” Somehow, when you stop fighting something, it has less power over you and the healing cycle gets bigger and bigger. Sending you many hugs. Namaste!
