Let go of your toxic relationships with friends, lovers, beliefs and fears.
Open yourself to those who embody the same traits you love in yourself.
Are you a good listener? Seek others who are good listeners. Allow such traits to be barometers of who and what is right for you. If you are trying too hard to make it work, that is a clear sign to you to let go and open yourself to what is right for you.
My friend Asha is teaching me to see life as a process of deconstructing and constructing. This is a powerful way to view the journey. After all, we are here to build something and we cannot bring in something NEW if we do not clear out what is old, no longer needed and taking up precious space. This is true whether in our home, our closet, our mind, our heart or our soul.
What are you holding on to that must be released? Don't know how to answer that question? It's the thing that makes you feel overwhelmed or sad or weighed down when you come across it. Quite simply, if that thing (friend, lover, belief, fear, pair of jeans or ugly chair) is not nourishing you, it's got to go. In fact, it's draining you in a precious space that wants desperately to be filled with a job that makes you happy, a caring new lover, or a pair of jeans that make you feel like a million bucks. So let it go. And open up to what is around the bend... it's yours anyway, it's just waiting for you to let it in.
...So let go, and open yourself!
Thank you beautiful one for modeling this courageous journey of getting real with how you really feel and doing something about it, is just the organic consequence.

I agree with you, Amy. There can be hope for those toxic people. To some extent everyone can be that way, but thankfully, people can reform.
ReplyDeleteIf the world doesn't consist entirely of positive people, then it can be improved by showing negative ones the right way.
I love that I'm applying this to my life right now!
