Dealing with Negativity + Mean-Spirited People

From time to time you may come across someone in the websphere, blogland, your social networking sites or your inbox who has only hurtful or mean-spirited things to say. I call these people energy vampires or human black holes because they come out of nowhere + it seems all they want to do is suck the life out of you - all your positivity + happiness + loving kindness + deserved success! Talk about a mood killer!

Now let me clarify, I'm talking pure negativity here folks, not constructive criticism + opposing opinions or new challenging ideas, which I totally support + encourage. In this video I'm addressing straight up negative energy that's malicious + + destructive + uncalled for!

So, now that we're clear on that, let me tell you exactly what I'm discussing on today's video:

1. The Cool Down Tactic.

2. The two proactive (not reactive) routes you can take to deal with negativity that you won't regret.

3. The importance of pre-establishing a strict policy about negativity in your life + biz, so you're never caught of guard!

Oh + if you have other strategies or experiences to share on this topic, please leave a comment below!

If we got together, I don't think there would be any negativity in our lives at all.

This is wonderful and I am upset that there are only 255 views. If you look up how to hurt people, you'd probably find video blogs with 2MIL views... just sayin' LOL Ill post this on my Facebook, cause I believe this is the right way to act. Unfortunately, mean people who seem insatiable will eventually find out how to push your buttons, so we need to learn how to deal with constant attacks from some. The motto for mean people is revenge or eye for an eye plus they see things very skewed.
