Sounds like an old hair shampoo commercial right? Rinse and repeat. Ok I just dated mah-self! hahaha…
Anyhoo, as ya’ll know, I love podcasts. I heard someone on a podcast recently say this (I can’t remember who) and I thought this was a perfect remedy to those toxic people we have in our lives.
You know who I’m talking about …
- That friend who is the Mayor, knows everyone and everything and always has to “one up” you whenever you try to share a story about your life. NEXT.
- Or that troll who left a nasty comment on your body positive Instagram post that made you feel like shit and sent you down the rabbit hole of self-loathing. NEXT.
- Or even a family member who always judges you for the life you live, the choices you make, the people you love. NEXT.
And even that ex that you’re still “friends” with but who conjures up weird emotions every time you see them online. NEXT.
This formula is an easy one to get rid of these people:
MUTE them,
BLOCK them,
DELETE them,
REPEAT.
Your energy is precious enough without outsourcing it to others who don’t reciprocate in kind, who are energy vampires or who are just plain annoying.
This is an easy solution that doesn’t require you to confront them (unless you need to) and that will make your life so much simpler.
Give yourself permission right now!
While I don’t advocate this for every situation and/or person in your life, it can be super helpful to start remembering as the Wizard of Oz’s Glinda the Good Witch always said “You’ve always had the power my dear” so use it!
You get to control how you feel, who is in your life and what messages you want to absorb on the daily! Yes, YOU DO!!
No conversation needed, no apology necessary, just mute their ass, block them, or delete them and do it over and over when the need arises. There! {wiping my hands clean} BU-BYE.
Try it today and let us know how you feel!
