“Distance Yourself From Negativity”


Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from negativity.

Anne Dennish's avatarAnne Dennish - Writer/Author

If it doesn’t feel right, don’t do it.

If it doesn’t sound right, don’t listen.

If it makes you feel uneasy, trust your gut.

If it doens’t make you feel good, then walk away.

Beautiful things happen when we distance ourselves from negative people and situations; trust your intuition to guide you towards the positive.

Wishing you love and light,

~Anne Dennish~
