How to Deal with Subconscious Absorbing of Negative Emotions?

[wanchain]

I have trouble with exposure to negativity as well, since childhood. In response, I shut down and built walls. I have had walls since childhood, and I didn't even realize it.

An empath told me that's not good. She taught me to protect myself with white light. I didn't like that method.

Another method is to pass through, be completely transparent that I hold nothing. Everything just passes through. But that means quiet the ego, not an easy thing to do.

Then another method I heard is to step into my own power, 100%. I have seen people like that. They are like Steve Jobs, to varying degrees, where the rest of the world can think them wrong, but they will still be fully confident of themselves. In other words, they are unperturbed. I know that I don't have a lot of power in me. I tend to give away my power to other people's thoughts, advices, opinions, etc. I am learning not to do that. Focus on myself. Don't focus on the negativity.
