This morning on Lucy and Kel for Breakfast, Lucy shared a clip from ABC’s The Assembly, where Guy Sebastian was asked how he deals with trolls. It’s such a good and timely reminder: how not to let hurtful or negative energy overshadow all the good around you. Guy’s response was simple but powerful, after a fan messaged him about his response to a Troll :

“Should I devote my energy to the people who love me? Or waste it on those who aren’t in my corner?”

It’s a truth that hits hard. One negative comment can stick in your mind, even when dozens of positive ones surround you. Science even shows our brains are wired to remember the negative, but the good news is, we can choose where we focus our energy.

Lucy and Kel reflected on how this applies to everyday life. Whether it’s a comment online, a colleague at work, or even a past hurt that lingers, the choice is yours: feed the negativity, or invest your energy in love, support, and growth. Listeners shared their strategies too, pausing before responding, stepping back to reflect, talking it out with someone you trust, setting boundaries, and practising gratitude to rewire your focus toward the positive.

The takeaway? Your energy is precious. Who or what deserves it? Let this be a daily reminder to protect it, and don’t let the few negative moments steal the joy and goodness that surround you.
