Detach yourself from unhealthy relationships.

We are surrounded by people we meet throughout our lives, ones we keep closer to and others we meet occasionally because we are not so close.

In that process, we know a few people who are not good for us. What I mean by that is that toxic behavior in relationships who:

· Bring your energy down

· Will cause trouble

· Just being with them is already a problem

· Have an impact on your behavior

· Give you stress and anxiety

We all know someone who doesn’t bring positive energy around us, no matter how much we love them.

It would be best if you looked after your mental health.

You can find that person in your circle of social life, family, or partner in life.

Think of getting out of a toxic relationship. You need to accept and see how the person affected your life. Realize it’s not worth it and ask yourself a few questions.

1. What do you bring to each other in that relationship?

2. Does this relationship help you move forward in your life? Or do you feel more stressed?

3. What if that person is not in your life anymore? What will be the impact?

It is called a toxic relationship, and it is preferable to detach yourself from it because it just pulls you back instead of moving forward.

Put some boundaries in place so that everything the person says or does doesn’t affect you emotionally.

Avoid being in the presence of a toxic person to limit the stress. Take some distance. You might see people starting to ask questions or say you’re rude, but you need to protect yourself and your sanity.

It doesn’t mean you don’t love them or care, but do it from afar. 

Depending on the relationship, sometimes it is because socially the person brings value to your business or your ego. Other than that, it is stressful. You might feel obligated to the person for some reason, but no, you need to protect yourself. By being well and healthy, you can better help people around you.

Ask yourself the questions and see how you feel when it is in your personal life. Sad, stressed, or happy and in joy?

Don’t stick with the person who is not good for you by habit. You deserve peace in your life and to be happy.
