Pregnancy brings tons of changes to your body, mind, and spirit. Everything can feel like it is in HD so to speak–as if all emotions and physical sensations are exacerbated. This is normal as there are surging hormones coursing through your body to create new life.
With all these changes, life challenges can seem daunting and overwhelming. I can honestly say I am proud of how I’ve been dealing with difficult situations this pregnancy–I haven’t repressed my emotions (which is NEVER a good idea–leads to diseases in the body like cancer, or emotional “random” outbursts!), but I’ve acknowledged them and let them go. In other words I give situations out of my control to my Higher Power.
Whether you’re pregnant or not, cutting toxic people out of your life is a must. If you let them remain, they will drain your energy and block your blessings. Sounds dramatic, huh?
Not sure if those around your are toxic or if you’re making it all up in your head? Then check the list below to see if it reminds you of some folks in your life.
Signs of Toxic Relationships
1) They drain your energy
After you leave their presence, you feel tired, “over worked” or just plain sad. This is a big sign they are energy vampires! #BYEFELICIA
2) You don’t feel like your authentic self in their presence
You feel like you have to act differently around them to be accepted. They feel intimidated by your true power, so you shrink. I’ve done this when I was younger and it is NEVER a good idea. Never take off your crown to make others feel better about themselves.
3) They are easily offended
This one is an annoying one. Anything you say or do seemingly hurts their feelings, and this is their excuse for lashing out at you. In other words, you can’t seem to do anything right! Ain’t nobody got time for that!!
4) They make you feel like you are cheating on yourself
When we force relationships to stay in our lives that are unhealthy, our intuition feels cheated on. We know we should leave, but we don’t want to seem mean. So we stay to appease them. Bad idea. Instead, honor your heart and obey its divine wisdom. Most likely, the toxic person your working so hard to appease isn’t worth all the fuss anyway and wouldn’t drop a sweat for you.
5) There always is drama lingering
Whether it is with you or some other person they are draining, they always seem to have an outstanding issue with someone. They bad talk them and wait for you to join in. You realize this is how they’d handle an issue between you and them if anything ever happened. #watchthesigns
If you find yourself in one of these categories with someone or some people, it is best to simply cut them out of your life. Don’t feel obligated to stay for anyone–you must honor your SELF first before you can be good for anyone else.
Thank you for liking and sharing. Make it a blessed, amazing week!
