Rejecting negativity

One of my year's resolutions was to extensively limit the sources spewing negative and distracting information.

It's been going rather well. From my Facebook feed I deleted clickbait websites like Bored Panda, which went from cool and creative to forwarding garbage, I cleaned out my groups subscriptions (no more chemtrails lolcontent paranoia!) and un-liked news feed websites which dealt with only negative material, making my mood just a little bit more crappy every day.

Then there's these chainmail like "1 share = 1 eur for this child" which triggers me like dark skinned children trigger Donald Trump, and which are the reason a part of my family isn't really fond of me - I guess some people prefer to live in a dreamworld and get angry if you tell them that that poor deformed boy's picture's been taken 30 years ago (google image search, oh how brilliant you are). Or they just don't know any better. I hate this type of scam.

It builds up, like a cigarett butt dropped every day at the same place and never cleaned. Until your stress levels and anxiety hits red line and you snap for apparently no reason. Over something stupid.

Since I removed all of that... life has become quieter. More creative. More stable. It has regained part of its quality.

I'm still not sure if I should give some people this exact treatment. Energetic vampires, as they're called in the mass media (I guess), and although I understand these are simply people who need help, I don't think it's worth to try support them again and again if they clearly don't want to be helped. Any joyful tiny little event from my life gets smashed down with a brick for being "too average". Every little success gets blasted with negative comments like "oh then it must've been a pretty low bar". And, to be fair, just by writing these words I come to a conclusion that it's not worth the time.

Remove negativity from your life, whether it's negative influences, distractions, things that bring you down on a daily basis. It will make a difference.
