My husband loves to refer to an article written about toxic people sucking the life out of you. I can’t exactally remember who wrote it but the bodybuilder passed a few years back. It describes a toxic friend as one who might blatantly mock you, or use offhand remarks to put you down. A toxic friend will be very needy, but rarely there to lend a hand when you are down. The article states that if you are feeling used and abused, it’s time to cut those ties.So, this week I re-read the article and I have done just that. Not only with a friend but with what I call “Dead Beat Customers,” those customers to steal from my company like Steve in Kentucky! I’m not sure if it’s that I’m getting older and really can’t tolerate B.S. anymore or if it’s just part of maturity and understanding. I think that cutting ties in a healthy way helps us to regain our power and self-esteem by cuttting away old attachments or energetic ties that no longer beam us love but have become flat and stale. These attachments cling to our lifeforce, depleting our soul and wounding us over and over again.
There are postive connections we form with people in a healthy way and ties that bind in an unhealthy way. The unhealthy ones sap our energy and the more there are, the more they seem to control and stress us out, therefore, creating a toxic environment. I was feeling quite used and disrespected by my best friend of 20+ years and thought it was time and change the pattern. Cutting ties without attachment, is an easy and painless way to unbind yourself……find a way to ground your energy.
Here is an article I found on About.com that goes into more detail. Take a peek…
