I think we all get to a stage in life where we get so real with ourselves that we are no longer prepared to tolerate conversations and interactions that leave us feeling low. Many years ago I got real enough to decide that I would establish better boundaries in my life. I want high energy interactions. Not necessarily always ones that leave me feeling like I could run a race but ones that are so ‘high’ they leave me feeling hopeful instead of dreadful, inspired instead of nonchalant. Interactions that leave me feeling calm, peaceful, optimistic, eager and loved. Energy is contagious and if you are constantly interacting with those that gossip, criticise, complain and vent, very soon The Universe will deliver even more of those circumstances. Whatever energy you surround yourself with, is a magnet for more of exactly that. Stop the white lies, learn to say no, you can do this kindly but you should always aim to honour your spirit. Don’t guilt yourself into invitations that you have ‘half want’ to attend, its actually an insult to the person who invited you. I would rather be honest that be there begrudgingly. If I have you in my life in any way, its because I want you there, I don’t spend one minute extra than I have to with those that drain me. Not personally and not in business, living authentically will match you up with your tribe. The lovers always find each other. This is how you take care of you, this is how you stop resentments and giving away significant portions of your day to those that will not be a positive influence in your life.
