Sometimes we’re more than anxious to start the day happy until we arrive at work and get enveloped in the negativity that often exists there.

They can also rob you of your productivity and seriously affect your work mojo.

You can be virtually immune to negativity at work as long as you resist being affected by it.

• Downers speak and act in a negative way.  By contrast, you can choose to be positive and enthusiastic.

• Take control of what you will allow to play over and over again in your head.  That is, no one gets to go directly into your head and chip away at your confidence.

• Turn the negative stuff into opportunities to do something positive.  Take a leadership role in showing respect for other points of view and trying to see things as they do.

• For those who are just plain negative people, always be aware that positivity trumps negativity every time.
