How To Spark Your Zeal When Dealing With A Difficult Person

Life is full of beautiful moments, and I am deeply grateful to be surrounded by so many wonderful, talented, and kind-hearted people.  

But let's be real... We've ALL encountered those energy vampires who try to suck the joy right out of us! 

You know who I'm talking about – that person who leaves you feeling exhausted and drained after every conversation? They might be combative, argumentative, or just plain negative.  

But here's the thing: YOU have the power to choose how you react! 

You are NOT a victim of their negativity. 

1. Set Boundaries

Boundaries are your energetic shields! They protect your precious inner peace and prevent negativity from draining your spirit. Don't be afraid to set them!

This might look like limiting your time with negative people, clearly communicating your expectations, and confidently excusing yourself from conversations that don't serve you. 

Remember, protecting your energy is essential for your well-being.

2. Practice Compassion (But Not at Your Expense):

Remember, everyone is fighting their own inner battles. Try to understand where their negativity might be coming from, but don't let it consume you. 

Offer kindness and empathy where you can, but remember that understanding their struggles doesn't mean you have to excuse their behavior. 

Your well-being is just as important as theirs.

3. Surround Yourself with Positive Energy

The company you keep matters! 

They say "you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with." So, choose your tribe wisely!

Surround yourself with people who lift you up, inspire you, and encourage you to SHINE. These are the people who will fill your cup and help you sparkle even brighter! 
 

Seek out and nurture those relationships that bring you joy and light.

4. Affirm Your Worth

Remember, beautiful soul, your light is precious! Remind yourself of your own incredible value and potential. Repeat powerful affirmations like:

• "I am worthy of love and respect."

• "I am capable of achieving great things."

• "My energy is sacred and I will protect it."

Dealing with difficult people can be draining, but by practicing compassion, setting healthy boundaries, surrounding yourself with positivity, and affirming your own worth, you can protect your inner spark and continue to shine your brightest light. 

Remember, your energy is precious, and you have the power to cultivate JOY and ABUNDANCE in your life, no matter who crosses your path.
