I need encouragement and words of wisdom

Ten minutes from now, I will be taking a bath, prepare for work and ride the car to the office. In two hours time, I will be interacting again with these co-workers of mine, who emit negative energy as always. I have become negative myself. How do I cleanse myself? I want to do some cleansing to relive and de-stressed my body and mind. Please mylotters, I need encouraging phrases or words of wisdom for today. At least, through that, I will regain my strength and energy and enthusiasm at work.

just try to ignore those co-workers; don't let them get to you. focus on your job instead. find your inner peace and shut out negative energy. you can also try some meditation even at work. just a few minutes of quiet time will help to de-stress you. good luck.

I think the best thing you can do with people like this is to go to work with a positive attitude and just totally ignore their negativity.You certainly do not want to end up like them so just always be positive around them and totally ignore them. I have a lot of negative people around me and I just smile and be nice to them , and they just go away. I am just so over people like this. Anyway have a good day anyway and chin up.

aileen for every negative thing that your coworkers say,counter attack with something positive only if its just oh yes but look at the sunshine and those fluffy clouds and the blue sky does that not make you feel happy? Or wow its pay day, what kind of fun things are you going to do? Keep your comments upbeat if nothing else it will defuse their ability to be negative in the face of your positive energy.out positive them.If nothing else some will say enough already and leave you alone to bask in positive energy.

Just ignore of them if possible,just do your work and draw your salary.For stress relief maybe your can participate more in mylot, or some light exercise,go out have some nice drinks with friends , watch a movie,sleep early and so forth.Go for a good massage and such.We can only control ourselves, we cannot others.If others choise to be nuisance we can't do much.Just ignore and avoid them if possible.

If God is in the center of your life, no one is above you. Just always pray to God and you can never go wrong. Remember that always and you're in the right path to win the gambles of life no matter how hard it is.
