One of the best pieces of advice I’ve EVER received was given to me while I was going through one of the most difficult times in my life. It was simple and yet MIND-BLOWING: IF IT FEELS TOXIC, IT PROBABLY IS. This was an epiphany to me! Of course! How could I have not seen it before, I just kept trying to fix things that just were not fixable; and people, these thing DO exist in the world. It IS ok to let some people and things go.
I had spent so much time thinking and beating myself up… ‘what am I doing wrong’ ‘how could I have saved this friendship, moment, day, etc… (fill in the blank)’; sometimes relationships are just plan UNHEALTHY. It’s not your fault souly or theirs, but if it can’t be fixed (and I mean by a good dose of communication and work from both ends), it IS ok to let it go.
This piece of advice is guiding me through the next phase of my life, both in my relationships AND in life choices. When I am making a decision, I find myself really checking in with ME and asking ‘Does this feel like a HEALTHY choice?’ Whether it’s with food or if I’m pushing myself towards one more social event that might take me right over the deep end, I’m trying to make better decisions which really does lead to less stress and MORE HAPPINESS! Life has been so much better since I let the unhealthy parts go and have begun to apply this simple philosophy to my life.
Thanks Dani for this gem, you probably had no idea you changed my life.
