not let other people's negativity bother me so much

Specifically one chick at work. She antagonizes almost everyone because she’s always in a sour mood. I’m tired of caring what other people think so much. People who have bad attitudes and want to bring everyone else down with them. I wish I could just go about the day, ignore them, and be merry. But instead I take it to heart and let it get me down. I’ve always been like that, but I’m gonna work on it! Let it roll off my back and realize that that’s just the way some people are and you have to let them be them while you stay your positive self!

I just had another talk with my mom about the career choices I’ve made. I went to school for animation, and now I’m needing to pay off some heavy loans, and she shakes her head thinking I was better off in medical school (I should be a doctor she tells me since I was in elementary school. Did she ever give me a reason to want to be a doctor other than to make a lot of money? NO! Perhaps I would have seriously given it some though if she talked more about the great things about being a doctor, and if I showed any aptitute for being in the medical field. Unfortunately, I suppose, I showed a great skill and talent for ART!)

I know she wouldn’t talk like that if I already had a good paying job. She’s convince if I studied to be a doctor, I would have a good job right now, and be making good money.

No matter how much I make, it won’t make a difference unless I budget and spend it WISELY. I dunno, maybe animation wasn’t the best area for me, but I can and will make it work!

It just really gets to me when she start looking down on me like that GRRR!

Sometimes i have to actually visualize myself throwing the thought in the trash can. Sometimes it’s a toilet and I flush it. Once it was in a garbage disposal. Would it be bad if I visualized flushing negative people down the toilet?
