Lots of mindsets are spoken and written about in great detail in books and on the internet. We hear about the Abundance Mindset and its opposite, the Scarcity Mindset. Then you have the Growth versus Fixed Mindset.

You also have the Money Mindset and Success Mindset. But there’s one mindset I don’t hear a lot about which is really important if you want a successful life and career.

 

It’s called a Negative Mindset.

 

Our energy impacts not only ourselves but also those around us. That’s why when you have a negative mindset; it’s going to affect every aspect of your life.

Your energy impacts those around you. So, if you bring a negative energy into the workplace, it’s going to have several repercussions.

Today I want to show you how negativity affects your job with a small case study.

Then you will also see how you can start to eliminate your own negativity in the workplace.

 

So, how does negativity impact your job?

 

Sometime back I was working with an amazing and highly talented client whom I’ll call Amrita. We were working on raising her visibility in the workplace to position her for a leadership promotion.

We discovered a roadblock that simply had to be removed. It was her negative mindset that was affecting how she was being perceived by her seniors, peers and team members.

To be frank, Amrita had experienced some very distressful situations at work which had affected her trust in others, and she tended to lean towards micromanaging her team.

She was also dealing with a toxic colleague on a project which seemed to bring out the worst in her during team meetings.

She was becoming negative when it came to her job and the impact was visible.

We worked on this aspect, and she started to experience a significant difference in her interactions with team members and communication skills.

She also learned how to manage her toxic colleague to complete her role in the project.

 

There are a lot of ways negativity can impact your job.

 

When you have a negative mindset, it can affect your performance, work relationships, and overall wellbeing.

The trouble with negativity is that it attracts more negativity. Therefore, if you go into work with a negative attitude, it is going to rub off on your colleagues too.

This will lead to a toxic workplace where nobody is happy and stress levels are increased.

As well as impacting the work environment, a negative outlook can also cause issues with performance.

You may not apply for new opportunities as they arise, forcing you to miss out on a potentially better job. Worse, you may be overlooked for juicy assignments and opportunities because while your seniors know you’re good at your work, your infusing negativity in the team will be considered a major handicap.

You will also notice your energy levels aren’t great, and the quality of your work will suffer.

These are just some of the ways negativity can impact your job.

We fixed it for Amrita and if this is sounding familiar, you too can fix it.

 

Ways to become less negative at work

 

Now there are ways you can become a more positive person at work. However, it might take quite a lot of effort to overcome your negative thinking.

I’ll be sharing some links to useful guidance in the description as well as a low cost resource to help you shift your mindset to one of positivity and growth.

For now, let’s focus on the workplace.

The best ways to combat negativity at work include:

  • Identify the cause
  • Think of something you are grateful for or thankful for
  • Talk to your boss
  • Distance yourself from negative colleagues

Let’s look at it deeper.

 

Identifying the cause of your negativity is crucial.

 

There could be numerous reasons why you have a more negative attitude at work. Maybe you keep getting passed over for a promotion, or you are bored of your current role? Identifying the cause enables you to figure out the best ways to combat it.

 

A dash of thankfulness

 

Whenever you feel yourself slumping into a negative mood, think of something you are thankful for. After all, it’s difficult to remain negative when you are thinking of something positive.

 

You may also find it useful to talk to your boss if you haven’t already.

 

If you are unhappy with something, let them know. Ask them for a promotion, rather than waiting for one. You could also ask them for further training opportunities and more responsibility.

 

Keep away from negative co-workers!

 

If you have colleagues who are negative, make sure you distance yourself from them.

It could be that others are putting you in a negative mood, so distancing yourself from them will protect your energy and your positivity.

If they see you with a more positive outlook, it will also help them to develop one too.

As you can see, there are several ways you can address your negativity in the workplace. Identifying the root cause is the key to finding the right solution.

And if you are just naturally negative, working on developing a more positive mindset will help. However, this will take time so don’t expect results overnight.

The best results come from consistent effort so keep at it! And check out the guidance that I’m providing in the description.

Meet your coach

I believe the world would be a better place if high achieving professionals accepted setbacks and challenges to their careers as Wake Up Calls to embark on a Journey where their empowered course correcting actions create a New World Order that encompasses achieving their career aspirations & potential with authentic life balance.

If you’re a driven, passionate, talented and ambitious professional  who’s hit a speed breaker in your business or career and want to create your desired breakthrough to reclaim control of your situation, then you’ve come to the right place because we can work together on customized strategies and tactics that deliver results.

When my clients first reach out to me, they are not in a very happy place, needing clarity about themselves, their desires, chosen vocation and what will give them peace of mind. They are drawn to me for the very reasons that I highlight in Who Is Karmic Ally Coaching.

Lack of recognition at work, inability to project themselves with confidence and frustration are just some of their professional problems that are playing havoc with other areas of their life. They know they need to take radical steps to change the status quo but they also know they need support and accountability to get them their desired result.

I really get it, because I’ve experienced that dark night of the Soul. I know firsthand the outcome of getting lost in my work rationalizing decisions that were detrimental to other aspects of my life.

Like you, I’ve struggled with and won battles of stress management, corporate politics, life balance and career decisions to emerge in a place where I can confidently say that I live my desired life according to my personal Manifesto and have created a business that provides me with a platform for my desired lifestyle and self-expression for myself. I want that for you too!
