How do you react in the face of negativity? Are you quick to respond with a sharp tongue or witty response? Does negativity also bring you down? It’s easy to spread a fun loving attitude when those around you are positive and happy, but how you handle negativity may need a change. It’s funny to think, but in one way or another, we are all connected – and it’s true that we can feel the vibes of those around us. Being attune to energy, positive or negative, is a great gift, but learning how to refrain from being reactive is even better.
Are You Too Reactive to the Energy of Others?

Letting the energy of others dictate our choices and paths can be a result of acting too reactively. When the energy of others has the ability to change your decisions, it’s time to stop and assess the situation. Energy is all around us and learning how to be proactive rather than reactive may just be the solution you need. Incredibly successful people and great leaders have reached amazing heights from making proactive decisions. You can bring a proactive vibe to your own life with easy steps like smiling when someone gives you a frown, letting it go when someone jumps in front of you in the coffee line and even taking the high road when coworkers just can’t seem to work it out.
So, tell me – are you too reactive? Can you make a change to be proactive instead?
