Shrink another’s circle without guilt
If someone is negative, then you can shrink their circle and place their circle further away.
Some people feel afraid or like it is against the rules to shrink another person's circle. It isn't! It is totally up to you. This doesn't mean you need to tell the person or risk having a fight with them. Simply decrease - on purpose - the amount of words you use when you talk or text with them.
Gradually dial it back. You'll be surprised to see that this helps you feel better and leaves you with more energy.
