Get some space

The fastest and easiest way to clear building negativity is to take a step back and get some space.

Take a break and go do something else.

Going about your work with a bad attitude only spreads the misery.

Focus on something else, let go, and let yourself relax a little.

You can come back to it when you feel better.

This will also give you more focus and clarity, making you a better worker.

Get some sleep

Sleep gives us the opportunity to disconnect from the thoughts for a period of time.

The mind can either make things great or awful, and if your negativity is such that it’s overwhelming, you should try and distance yourself from your thoughts as much as possible.

When you’re angry or anxious, it may be hard to pull off, but if you’re depressed or sad it can work wonders.

Yoga and meditation

These are the tried and true methods of yogis.

Meditation is all about clearing the mind, and can give an important recharge of peace.

Just 10-15 minutes can make all the difference.

If your mind is still too convoluted, you can try something else: yoga.

Stretching and deep breathing release endorphins, which in turn boosts the mood.

Also, it’s a physical way of releasing tension as opposed to mental, which means you’ll coming at your negativity in a different way.

Call, text, or think about someone you love

Identify what you love most in the world, and think about them.

Sounds simple, but it works.

Practicing gratefulness is a powerful way to boost your mood.

Thinking about those that love you unconditionally- especially animals and children- is very helpful.

You can even picture your favorite moments with them.
