Constant venting may render you a chronic complainer and will lead to spewing negativity in your life affecting you and your friends and family.

“Negative situations happen all the time, we can’t avoid them however we can counteract the negative effect on our lives and attitudes.

We should take extra effort to learn the power of positive thinking for a healthy life. Not only is negativity unproductive, but, it can be emotionally draining as well.
“The first and foremost step is to practise gratitude. Talk about the things you are grateful for with your near and dear ones.
Keep a gratitude journal to capture the thankfulness you feel for what you have on a daily basis. Doing so will help you have a grateful mind and heart even when bad things happen.
Exercise is an excellent way to fight the negative effects of bad situations. Indulging in yoga or meditation will keep your mind and body in better shape thereby improving your mental and physical health. It will also boost self-esteem and reduce the negativity within us.
Change your vocabulary and Try avoiding words like “never “and “cannot”. Instead, say that you have struggled with it in the past, but will do what you can to change that.
Do things that make you happy. If you are not happy then you will naturally think negatively. Instead, spare time to cultivate your hobbies. Doing so will help you to reduce your negative energy.
Finally, remember nothing good can come out of being negative, so why waste energy on it,” Manisha adds.
