Recent High media exposure to global economic & environmental crisis leaving negative influence on our collective psyche.
Residual after-effect on our subconscious that can inject fear, paranoia & anxiety on a social level.
Since no man is an island we are all subject to this collective effect. Introduction
Slide 3:
The social environment we live in is a highly connected network of individuals.
When a network is highly connected, causes and effects spread out throughout the network very fast and effectively. There is a lot of interdependency.
It should therefore come to no surprise that other people’s moods affect us in many ways. Introduction (cont)
Slide 4:
Get your Vaccine As one can have a vaccine administered against seasonal flu, one can also get a shot of ‘vaccination’ against the negativity pandemic. This vaccine is called awareness.
If we are aware of the fact that other people’s attitude on life can leave an effect on us, we can consciously understand the signs when we see them.
By being aware of other people’s negative and limiting beliefs, we can choose to take action before being affected. We can, for example, choose not to be around so-called downbeat people or self-victimizing people who drain a lot of energy and vitality from us.
Slide 5:
Build up your defence system We can also be preventive and watch out not to enter into situations or relationships that we know might have a contagiously negative effect on us.
Example: a social circle where people tend to always whine and moan about something: be that politics, the degeneration of teenage life, cost of living, the battered economy, etc
You might also avoid seeing a particular show or a particular site in which a lot of cynical, negative views on life are expressed.
Slide 6:
Turn it around When a conversation or an evening out starts getting downbeat and pessimistic, turn it around by changing the subject of conversation or injecting the positive side of the situation into it.
Remember that the other person might not be conscious that the flow is going negative so you have to be in charge of arresting the negative syndrome before it creeps in and bounce it off with a positive twist.
Slide 7:

Don’t forget that Life is Beautiful
