I also absolutely believe there are both positive and negative energies. I also believe some people are way more sensitive to these energies than others are. There are lots of little cleansing and purifying rituals you can do. One of them I do, sort of a visualization/meditation/cleansing is to take a hot shower and visualize all the negative energy washing off you as any other soil, and washing down the drain to be purified within the earth and re-released as positive energy. I then breathe deeply of the cleansed air and feel totally refreshed. Works every time.
Glad to hear your day is going better!
