Avoiding certain people to protect your emotional and mental health is not a weakness. It’s wisdom.

Are there people whom you strategically avoid for these reasons?

Did you make a conscious effort to do this, or was this something that slowly evolved on its own?

When you are thoroughly engaged with a specific party who causes you anguish or distress, your entire life force depletes proportionate to the amount of energy you afford them in the course of your interactions and engagement.

Understanding the mathematical balance that this dynamic represents in your life could not be more important in your ability to sustain your health on all levels.

Some people are truly toxic and give us cause or reason to avoid them with every ounce of our being.

We feel tremendously depleted for our having spent the time required to engage and to process after the engagement whatever negative ramifications came with the experience.

As we stay present in such a situation, we are that much more able to feel the impact of their presence and consciously sense negative repercussions.

Once this is a realization within yourself, the only thing that keeps you from modifying the situation is your ability to process what you have identified and make choices that will minimize those variables and their impact on you going forward.

Happy Sunday!
