The Effect of Positive Energy

Copyright © 2007 Kent Jacobson a.k.a. Mr. Success

Positive energy can go a long way in ensuring that your home and work environment is calm and relatively anxiety free. If you have ever worked in an office with people who are constantly giving off negative energy, you surely know what it feels like. You feel suffocated by this energy, and oftentimes it wears off on others.

One of our major social problems nowadays is negative people who are constantly talking about others and turning people against one another. This form of negative energy is one of the quickest ways to divide an office or your home. If you work with negative people, do not let them bring you down. Easier said than done, so what to do about it.

The best way to combat negative energy is to throw positive energy right back at it. In other words, if a person is constantly degrading someone, you need to step to the plate and throw a good word in about him or her. This will make the person realize that this type of attitude will not be tolerated. By letting this negative energy circulate around the home or office, you are doing nothing to help the situation. In fact, if you are not helping, you are just contributing to the problem.

Try to make it a personal goal to show up at your office every day in a good mood. Oftentimes, positive energy will pass on to your co-workers and family members. If you can get this sort of attitude started, pretty soon everybody is feeding off of each other's positive energy. The end result: anybody who brings negative energy to the office or home will quickly be converted; they have no other choice! The best aspect of positive energy is that it is FREE. You need to look no further than within yourself. Be aware, negative energy is easier to find in some ways. Remind yourself, it is vital to wake up everyday looking at what can go right, not what can go wrong. Try taking a positive attitude the night before; you will see a difference in the morning.

In everyday life positive energy seems to be ignored when evaluating successful business or home environments. Businesses or families that do not address the people who project negative energy are never going to reap the rewards possible in their quest for success. Be part of the solution, not an enabler to the problem.

Remember what Brian Tracy said, "Excellence is not a destination; it is a continuous journey that never ends."

Where's the Sun? My February Embrace

February has always been a rough time for me...long nights, cold days, no sunshine for what seems like weeks at a time. Enough to make one mad dreaming of spring.

This year, though, things are different. My February has taken on an entirely new twist, and I'm beginning to look at my "worst month" in a whole new way.

It's all about attitude. I realized going into this month, with that familiar "it's gonna take everything I've got just to hold on to my sanity" attitude, that I could change that. Indeed, that I HAD to change that. I just refused to accept the fact that I had to have another February like the ones I've always had.

So, I started to look at all the positive things about this mis-understood month. Like the bitter cold...what a great time to try out those soup recipes I've been collecting, and whip up a batch of home-baked bread.

I was firm with myself this month...no whining, no slinking back into my typical "dark place" wishing I was anywhere but here. I embraced February, with all its ice, wind, snow and dark. I lit candles. I rearranged my office. I jettisoned a number of unpleasant and unproductive things from my life. And I am living this month, and enjoying February in a whole new way.

This has done wonders for business, too. Contacts from last fall have been calling ready to get started. An invitation to give a presentation just came through the other day. And new relationships have given my psyche a much-needed boost.

Are you stuck in the winter doldrums? A little advice...take hold of February and give it a good shake. Then give it a long hug and embrace your dark month. You'll be surprised how well it hugs back.

Expand Your Universe With Words

It's all about who you know...you've heard that old saying before. And in building your business, that's even more true.

I've found a remarkable benefit of using article marketing to promote my business...the number of people I "know," and who now know me, is expanding like crazy.

My name is popping up all over the place! My profile is on a Chinese article directory; an author's directory in Brazil; and on more places in the US than I could have imagined.

All from writing and distributing articles. I was talking to a prospective client the other day, who said "yeah, I googled you, and you're name was everywhere! I guess you know your stuff."

Now, that's the kind of thing I can get used to hearing. And it's all from submitting some articles through an automated distribution service. It's all who you know...I'm so glad I know these guys at Article Marketer ;-)
