For that matter so do I! Negative waves ( term borrowed from the movie "Kelly's Heroes") refers to non positive thoughts (call them vibrations if you will) that do nothing but bring people and those who are close by down. In general, I do consider myself to be an optimistic and positive person but yesterday I was not doing too well in this arena. The week at work had been an emotionally draining one, I was not feeling too good and I was allowing my mother in law to get on my nerves. Later on that afternoon, I received word that my son's car would not start so I was not too pleased with having to deal with that ( even though my wife is the one who took care of things). Overall the day was not going as I would have liked it.
Later on that evening, my son decided to talk to me about things and I was able to get some things off my chest and after that felt much better. He was able to give me some new perspective on the situation and in return I was able to start mellowing out and feeling more relaxed. Thank you son for your time with me last night. Very much appreciated!
So in the event things start to get a bit overwhelming, pause to take a minute and gauge for yourself to decide where things are going. Attempt to take control of your feelings that are occurring and remember that you are in control. It's not always easy but it can be done. Think of something to be happy about. Negative waves are never any fun!
For your viewing enjoyment, I have attached the following video clip from the movie "Kelly's Heroes" that gives the movie character Oddball's (played by Donald Sutherland) perspective on negative waves. Enjoy!
Oddball hates them negative waves
