THE SKY IS FALLING…THE SKY IS FALLING!!!

Do you have any friends that live for drama? They seem to be addicted to negativity. If you ask how they're doing they give a litany of complaints and end with, "It is what it is!" 

OMG! Kill me now! 

It's so draining to be around this negative energy. I've been able to identify a couple of reasons for it. 

I understand it, I used to be one to a degree. There was guilt associated with things going well or my being happy. Why? Because other people aren't? Because I was about working and there couldn't possibly be space for feeling happy. I was a martyr and look what I was giving up and doing for others… How could there be room for me to be happy? Can't you see what I've given up for you?

While finishing up my next book, A Year in a Suitcase, it brought back to my attention of my stay in Ireland. I noticed that most of the older people I stayed with had "The Sky is Falling Syndrome!"Theirs was based on their past fears.

It doesn't really matter why one thrives on drama but the truth is that negative or positive  energy attracts more of the same! So if you want good things to come your way one has to change their energy vibration and that can be as simple as changing what you watch on the boob tube, what you read and who you hang around with. 

The Sky is Falling…. it's simply a matter of perception! Keep calm… and carry on! And have FUN while doing it:)
