Do you know someone who sucks the fun right out of a get-together or gathering?

When this person enters the room does negativity pervade the entire environment?

Do you feel like your boundaries are violated when this person sucks the positive energy out of the room?

What does one do when a person with toxic energy permeates your space?

1. Brainstorm alternatives

2. Sever the relationship or friendship

3. Confront the negative person by expressing one's true feelings

4. Ignore the negative energy

5. Withdraw from the situation

Surround oneself with positive, life enhancing people who make you feel good when in their presence.

Seek genuineness.

Model the kind of positive energy you wish to see in others.

Connect with healthy friends and family.
