I heard an interesting story about the law of resonance that I want to share with you. The Law of Resonance is a very similar concept to the law of attraction, but has some distinct differences. The Law of Attraction, as is widely known, is the universal law that determines what you attract into your life based on what you're putting out there.

Where the Law of Attraction is really a personal, individualized situation, the Law of Resonance is relational in nature. The Law of Resonance has to do with the way two or more things are linked. My transcriptionist told me a story that perfectly illustrates this law. She had worked as a paralegal in a law firm several years ago and saw exactly how the Law of Resonance works first hand.

My transcriptionist told me, "I sat next to a woman for three and a half years, we shared a desk. She had worked at the law firm for ten years before I even got there and she was literally the most negative person I had ever met. Worse, she never stopped talking. And so it was a constant barrage of complaints and lies.

"At first I tried to sympathize and support her, but as the weeks went on, and then the months, and eventually years, of course, my sympathy and support started to wane as she ignored any advice that could make her life better or suggestions which would help to move her out of this mindset."

Okay, so say you are with someone eight or more hours a day for five days a week, or you live with someone whose energy is dark or pessimistic. If you are a fairly well adjusted, happy person, and you express your thoughts and feelings in a positive frame, even if there's a difficult task at hand, this other person will have an affect on you. If it's a situation where you have to deal with the person, don't have the option of changing jobs or kicking the mother-in-law out, then you will need to start doing what you can to protect yourself from the negativity of this person.

The Law of Resonance says that the relationship between the two individuals, especially over an extended period of time, will either raise up the energy of the negative one, lower the energy of the positive one, or result in a combination of both where they'll meet somewhere in the middle.

There are a number of things you can do to protect yourself from sinking to their level.

First, of course, and this is not always possible, stay around like minded positive people. Seems simple, but we don't always choose who we are around, especially in a work context. Keep in mind at all times, that another person's negativity can sap us of our positive energy if we are not mindful of the dynamic. If their negativity is stronger than your positivity, you will be pulled down.

So what happened between my transcriptionist and the secretary she sat next to? Well, eventually my transcriptionist, manifested herself a new desk on the other side of the office. She went to her office manager and explained the drain and was rewarded with a quiet desk alone near the library and felt a huge weight was removed from her workload.
