You cannot be too choosy with your surroundings. We all like to think we can survive a toxic work environment, relationship, home, or family, and come out unscathed. We can't. We are beings affected by the energy around us - it's the way we were created because we aren't robots. Yes, to some degree we can detach from hurtful or demeaning words, or we can let complains roll off our backs. But I do not believe we can walk away without being negatively impacted.
It is not hard to tell if a situation is toxic for your soul. Do you dread going home? To work? Does your soul scream for a break from a certain person? Are you constantly tolerating something, wishing it were different? This is your spirit gently pushing you to make some life changes. Listen to its whispering. Your intuition was given to you for a reason. Things that we tolerate on a day to day basis slowly poison our souls, crippling us and preventing us from achieving our potential.
Your spirit wants to flourish in an environment where it is fed and fulfilled. What makes you feel alive? What is it that doesn't feel like work at all? What are you naturally drawn to? Go there. Be that. It is difficult to take the risks in front of you - but it is well worth the reward. Whatever you are tolerating - trade it for something bigger. Don't be afraid to let go because the space created will attract the new opportunities you crave. Fear often keeps us comfortable with what is familiar - even if it makes us unhappy and miserable. There is so much more waiting if we will only risk losing our comfort.
Be uncompromising in your environment. Refuse to accept toxic negativity in your space. If your job is toxic, get different one. If your relationship is negative and stagnant, have a talk with your mate and make some changes or take a new path. If you are surrounded by negative friends, make some new people who dream like you do. If you dread going home, start making it a beautiful place to be. Clean out the clutter and create peace. Your surroundings become you - so start painting your world the way you want to be. You are the only person that can choose how your life is going to look. Make it a masterpiece.
What are you tolerating that is making your environment unbearable? What are you going to change to bring you to your potential? Let me know on this blog or at defytheaverage@gmail.com.
