The art of letting go.
"I let go of what no longer serves my highest good. I trust the process, and believe it's all happening for my own benefit."
Sometimes in life the people we love the most are the ones who hurt us the most.
So today I want to talk about various ways to get away from those people who hurt us, putting excuses aside and taking control of our lives. We have to remember that many times we get addicted to suffering, but this doesn't mean that we are destined to live this way.
If there is someone in your environment who is hurting you, it's important to set boundaries, or leave.
Toxic people and relationships tend to only cause destruction, suffering, and disrespect, and most of them are beyond repair... So, consider these things if this is your case:
Get away physically: it is one of the first steps. Try not to meet that person, to avoid the places they go, and eliminate them from your life, progressively.
Eliminate any contact: Both on social networks, in person, by phone, smoke signs... it's important that, at least at the beginning, you avoid being in direct contact with that person.
Let the "grieve" pass: Many times we try to overcome problems by putting a bandage on and pretending nothing's happening. But life happens, and we have to face it, stand up to it and overcome it. It is normal to go through bumpy moments, feeling sad or low in energy. The key here is to not repress this feeling, but also avoid getting stuck there.
Turn the page: It's normal that in the first weeks you think about them but, over time, you have to start controlling your thoughts and diverting them. Think about yourself, your life, your future and what you want. Put'em first.
Surround yourself with people who love you: It is worth remembering that we are not invincible and that having people who love us around can speed up the healing process. Talk to them, disconnect from the rest, laugh and have fun. Count on them.
