Eight Types of Toxic People, You Must Let Go Of For Spiritual Growth and Development


IN CONCLUSION:

You must get rid of the surrounding toxic energy is the first step. But what is even more important, you should stay positive yourself. Life is precious. Yet all too often, we may find that much of our time is spent around negative, toxic people, draining the life right out of us. Sometimes they’re co-workers, friends, or sadly, even family members. God never intends for us to spin our wheels, waste our days, trying to make others happy who can never be happy. Because in reality, it doesn’t depend on us. It’s not up to you. They may want you to think it does as if you possess the power to improve the value of their existence, but that’s not a burden meant for you to carry. The manipulation known as gas lighting, toxic behavior is also the product of certain kinds of environments, notably those where productivity is the only benchmark of success or where mistrust or uncertainty permeates the atmosphere or, especially in close relationships, where insecurity or anxiety runs high. God’s greatest desire is to set us free. And sometimes what propels that change is for some brave individual to be willing to say, “stop, I have had enough.” One who will choose what is better and learn to set boundaries that will protect and limit the control an unhealthy person might be placed on another’s life.

Sadly, when we look deep into the mirror of our souls, we may realize that we are the ones who have some unhealthy tendencies that God wants to change. Change your negative thinking and get rid of limiting beliefs. Today’s a good day to stop wasting time in toxic patterns of living. For he has better in store for us. None of us are perfect. These may be family members or friends who monopoly or seize your time without warning. They repeat the same old refrain and there is nothing for you to gain. Friendships need a give and take. As soon as you ascertain that they do not even want help or can’t offer you affectionate support in return, it may be time to drastically reduce your exposure to these people or just get rid of them. They will waste too much of your time, if you let them. Toxic behavior doesn't just inflict a personal hurt. It assaults systemic well-being. It generates stress and frustration at the crippling devaluation. It is deeply disturbing because, as it destabilizes us, it prompts us to believe, even for a moment, that it reflects how all others see us.
