Let's get one thing out in the open right now. There is always going to be prople who do things or say things that will 'push your buttons'. These people will try to make you angry, just because they can. How you handle each situation is up to you. You have the choice of letting these people undermine you and your decisions or you can ignore their comments and not let them make you angry (I know, easier said than done. But, it can be done). You can choose to let these negative things influence your choices and steer the course of your life or you can choose to take control, be positive and managing stress in your life is a healthy manner.
Don't look back and keep drudging up the past. If there has been bad choices or experiences; admit it, learn 'radical forgiveness' or any other techniques to help you put it in the past to stay and move forward in your life. Being vengeful, hateful or angry does not only increase the stress in your life; this is a core cause to health problems. If you choose this path of negativity, you will be treading on dangerous grounds and ruin your life; by becoming negative and allowing stress the upper hand, your health will slowly deteriorate.
Why worry and stress over something you can't change, and you can't change the past. You can look at the current issues in your life and make positive choices. Take control of the things you can, with the choices available to you. Evaluate your situation, take in all the positive and negative aspects and then, ask how this stress will benefit you? If you can't think of anything positive, to answer that question; let it go! You cannot allow the opinions of others direct your life.
Negative thoughts or bad feelings foster to pain and hurt...Why do you want to hurt yourself that way? Keep asking yourself that question, until positive thoughts and good feelings crowd out the negative. Always look at the positive outlook of 'the glass is half full'. The only thing you get from being a pessimist and negative person is stress and 'a glass half empty'. When you allow stress and negativity in, the motivation to succeed will fly right out the window.
The big picture and where you wnat to be needs your attention. Make healthy choices and live a positive, successful life. Be a positive influence in other people's lives and help them get control over stress.
