Has talking to someone ever left you feeling exhausted and depleted?

Has a trip to the mall ever felt, not only physically challenging, but mentally draining too?

If so, then you may have fallen prey to the harmful effects of someone else's negative energy.

You see, the same way that laughter can be contagious... unfortunately negative energy can be too, especially if your defenses are down due to stress or illness.

However the good news is that there are many ways you can boost your positive vibration to protect yourself from being affected by other people's negative energy…

And to help you, below I’ve listed a simple yet powerful 4-step process that you can implement right away!

Step 1: Identify the Source of Negativity and Take Action

First, identify if the negative feeling is caused from something specific that you can control. If it is, remember that YOU are also responsible for stopping this energy from spreading out into other areas of your life, so confront it right on.

If you can't pinpoint the source, then chances are it's someone else's energy that you've absorbed.

So take action by distancing yourself from anyone that doesn't make you feel good. If it's someone you don't know, in a movie theater for example, don't hesitate to switch places if you suddenly feel affected by their energy.

Step 2: Connect With Your Breath

If you feel a negative vibe, try to find a place where you can be by yourself for a couple of minutes. Close your eyes and try connecting with your breath.

Visualize love and positive energy coming to you every time you inhale and imagine releasing fear every time you exhale. Doing this for a few minutes will not only make you feel better, but also replenished.

Step 3: Surround Yourself With Positive-Minded People

Spending time with people who lift you up and always see the good in every situation will help you disengage from any negative emotions. Every time you surround yourself with love and peace, you shield yourself against any negative energy that could potentially harm you.
Remember that expressing love and compassion also means loving and showing compassion to yourself. So never feel guilty about avoiding a person or a situation that doesn't feel right for you.

Step 4: Enhance Your Abilities

Practicing yoga and meditation, and having your own personal space where you can recharge your energy, are essential tools to help maintain your well-being.

So make replenishing yourself with positive energy, a priority in your day-to-day life!

Now, in a couple of days time I’m going to be sending you a very exclusive invite to an event where you’ll have the chance to break through any energetic blocks lingering in your body.

I’m waiting for the invites to come through, but I promise as soon as they do, I’ll be sure to share one with you.

McDonald's

In a recent conversation with a friend we were discussing the economy and the minimum wage.  The conversation was about the benefits pro and against raising the minimum wage.  It started when someone was on the news talking about how they have been working for McDonald's for over seven years without a raise.   WHAT! Who does that?  Why wouldn't you just find a better paying job then quit?  


On one side minimum wage should be just that.  It should be the job you take on the way to the next job where you earn more than the minimum wage.  In my opinion jobs in the fast food industry, sales, retail,  are not meant to build your life or raise a family unless you are in the manager in training program and/or plan to be store owner or general manager. 


There are those that feel that the minimum wage should be a lot higher because people can't live off what they make now.  My rebutle to that is "Why are you trying?  Take the job for as long as you need to get more education, finish school etc. Then move to the next phase of your life and career.



Let's say for an instant that school just wasn't your thing or maybe you were not in a position to get an education.  So what do you do now?  For starters don't give up.  There are other ways to get ahead.  Find ways to improve your life without settling for minimum wage. 


 They call it a "Minimum Wage" for a reason.  If a person wants to earn more money working at McDonalds then go through their Manager training programs or if that's not enough go through their Franchise Ownership Program.  But don't just sit back for 7 years and complain about your wages when you have made no effort to better yourself.


Okay stepping down off my soap box.


Right here, Right now is the time to make a change in your life.  Tempus Neminem Manet (Latin) - "Time Waits For No One"

Hiring Practices in the Here and Now!

Bring back "self assessments".  I am getting tired of seeing people in jobs that they are clearly not cut out for.  This society has gotten too weak.  We let people work in areas and industries that are far beyond their capacity because we are "afraid" as a culture to tell them that they "Suck" at their  job.


Human Resources dictates that we give them a chance and create the positive work environment.  Are you kidding me?  Positive Work Environment my A*%. 




Can you do the job?  If not, why are you here?  Is it to make the rest of us suffer because of your incompetence?  Or is it because you are living in the make believe world that tells you that you are doing a great job and it's the rest of us that are Crazy? 


I think HR has it wrong.  If within the first 90 - Days if you cannot do your job to the point where everyone around you has to pick up the slack then I ask you....Why are you here?  So tired of being the only capable person in the room. 


Self Assessments are not an exact science by no means, but at least they get the individual thinking about their own strengths and weaknesses.  It is better to perform a job that you are actually good at and one where you are happy than to struggle at something you cannot do and are miserable doing it.   Or just make everyone around you miserable!!


So here is my solution:


During the interview don't just talk about what you might be doing in a "scenario" actually explain the job and give real situations.
 
Some jobs require a certain amount of work experience in order to effectively do the job.  If your industry is one of them, make sure you screen appropriately. 


Have the candidate meet / interview with all members of the team.


Don't hire while the company is desperate.  It is better to be short staffed with a good team that works together than to hire someone just to fill a void.  This person tends to be the weakest link and will end up dismantling the culture and the vibe of the existing team.


Promote within if possible.  Money and time will be spent no matter what.  If someone within the company can be trained to do the job then this may be the best solution.  Hiring outside the company does not always guarantee a better quality candidate or that the company's needs will be met.


Lastly, if you find that a mistake in hiring has been made, please correct the problem as soon as possible.  The longer the person stays the more damage is done to the team and the company.
