How to remove Toxic people from your life...
I love my life. I love how easy it has become,how I wake up looking forward to the day and what it has in store for me or what exciting,fun activity I have planned with the boys. Even those romantic date nights my fiancee & I plan so we can spend time together. Everything,to me,is perfect.
Don't get me wrong,there are days where things get a little complicated but it's nothing that I can't handle. However it wasn't always like this. I had a very poor habit of letting negative,judgmental,jealous,abusive, drama causing people into my life. Why? Because I believed people were who they said they were. Then later I got burned & saw them for who they truly were.
I believe that we never have anyway of truly knowing anyone until it's too late. Which I have found to be one of the best lessons that life has to teach us.It's great to meet & make new friends! but it's also important to recognize an unhealthy relationship weather it be dating,friends or family.
What I consider to be an unhealthy relationship with bad vibes include are:
Anyone who constantly has negative things to say when something exciting happens to you.
Politely puts you down
Makes you feel or tells you that your stupid
Makes you feel small,insignificant,unimportant
Makes you feel like your not good enough
Someone who likes to embarrass you by publicly pointing out your flaws
Tries to make you feel guilty for what you have worked hard for & earned
Someone who jealous to the point where they hurt your feelings & don't care
Someone who bullies you mentally,emotionally & physically
Spreading untrue rumors about you to your friends,family,boss,spouse & Co-workers
Being two faced
Causing unwanted drama in your life
Purposely hurting your feelings
Someone who feels zero guilt or remorse for putting you through anything that hurts you emotionally,mentally & physically
Someone who is controlling
Claim your Happiness!...
If you have or are experiencing anything on the list above I am very sorry. It sucks but the good news is that you don't have to deal with ANY of these things anymore.
You have every right to eliminate people out of your life for good who make you feel bad about yourself. Who pick on you,who bully you etc. Anyone who is your friend,family or loved one would never want you to feel bad about yourself or the good things that you have gained,worked hard for & have accomplished in your life. They would celebrate & be happy for you! Excited with you! That sounds like it would feel good,right? You can have that.You are deserving to have that. Everyone is. The one thing that I always told myself & other people have told me is that they felt undeserving of anything. That's very toxic thinking which can sadly be placed into your head by jealous,toxic people. Don't believe it & don't believe them. Keep your joy!
You CAN be selfish...
You can be selfish in this aspect of your life. Every once in awhile I will meet new people who seem great at first! We get along,go places together & have a good time. But eventually I start to notice the negative vibes coming in. Then I finally see that persons true colors. When that happens I tell myself
"No,I can't hold on to a friendship like that,I need good,positive vibes,not drama."
After I have made my decision to remove toxic people like that out of my life I move on. I don't even think about that person anymore. It's not worth it to me you know? You can do that too. There is no shame in doing so & it doesn't make you a bad person. If that person makes you feel bad or does any of the things that are listed above you have any and all rights to keep that bad shit out of your life!
Reboot & Spend some alone time...
I know there is probably someone reading this who thinks that this part is impossible to do. I can guarantee you that is & it's probably one of the best things that you can do for yourself. You can do this for as long as you like. When I first tried this I gave myself a month. Which turned into two months,then 6 months to a year or more I had become at peace with myself. I felt stronger as a single mother & as a women.I had regained & restored my confidence. It actually helped me get through the passing of my father.
I sat down & made a list of things that I wanted to do,alone,that I enjoyed. Going on a shopping spree,having a spa weekend,going to concerts,meeting up with genuinely,true friends for lunch. I was working hard & I deserved to do the things that I enjoy & still do these things till this day.
Then I made a list of things that I could with my son which was so fun! It brought us closer together.
I also made a list of the things that I didn't want in my life. That list after I read it seemed very selfish & cruel.They were the things,people that were bringing me down and making me miserable. After I read this list suddenly it didn't seem so selfish anymore. I did this for three years,not because that was how long I planned if it for but because it was honestly the happiest that I had been in years. It prepared me for the wonderful life that I have now.
I hope that what you have read has been helpful in some way.. And if your not ready to try what I tried then that's okay! You will find your own unique way of weeding out bad vibes & toxic people. I hope that your journey will be as peaceful as mine was
Till next time my dear friends <3
