Have you ever noticed how easily negativity rubs off on people? Recently I was waiting on line at the grocery and there were two families ahead of me with babies in carriers. One kid was fine until he noticed the other baby crying. I watched his face go from one of contentment to gradual dismay as he witnessed the other howling his lungs out. It wasn’t long before he joined in too.
I see this same behavior in adults at the office. I’ll be fine minding my own business in my little cubicle, and then along comes complaining “Jane.” She just has to unload and share every recent affront foisted on her by nefarious co-workers. Just like that little kid in the store, pretty soon I find myself complaining too! After her diatribe, she goes on her way feeling great now that she’s dumped all her negative energy and I’m left staring at my computer, suddenly cranky. For times when my energy can’t withstand these “psychic attacks” I whip out my secret weapon, an aromatic inhaler loaded with Eugenia Essentials “Summer” blend of geranium, cypress & lavender. Geranium is a mood lifter and Cypress is a great oil for relieving stress and feelings of anger. Lavender is an emotional balancer and relieves nervous tension. One whiff makes me think of warm summer days walking in the woods and I’m feeling good again!
