Have you ever been around someone who brings negative energy into every environment they walk into? Do you know someone who can't seem to understand that there are a lot of positive things in life but are unable to see them? Are such people your friends and colleagues? If they are, you may want to remove yourself from their line of sight because toxic people reduce your chances of having a successful life.A successful life has many components but for sure, toxic people are those who work, day in and day out to suck the life out of anyone who strives for success. Toxic people may not have the capacity to make friends feel good about their appearance or encourage them during the upstart of a business venture. If a person does not have the capacity to make you feel uplifted, encouraged and supported you have potentially run into a toxic person.Whatever motives a toxic person has for their behavior towards others, it is not your business to figure it out unless it is a child, close family member or in some cases, a close friend with a mental disorder. You have to be able to know when to cut the strings to someone who sucks the energy out of you because quite literally, such people can make you feel physically ill and exhausted. Also, toxic people reduce your chances of having a successful life.Here are some things you can do to prevent toxic people from de-energizing your life and surroundings.1 - Make a mental inventory of all your friends, family and co-workers. Figure out which people in these groups may have toxic tendencies.2 - If you have friends who bring negative energy into your life, cut them out of our life. If cutting someone out of your life seems difficult, think about what you have been doing to encourage his or her behavior. Gradually work at having non-toxic friends in your life.3- If you have family members who are toxic, think about the role they play in your life. If Aunt Petunia has the yearly Thanksgiving Dinner at her house and you only see her once a year, make a point of only being with this gathering for a short time. Then leave. Remember, you have control of your own time.4- Find others who share your love of life and everything it brings. Nurture the relationships that bring you peace and tranquility. Such people will support your endeavors and make you feel like a million bucks.There are times in your life that you will have toxic people in your life and that is when you will have to decide what boundaries you will set so that the negative energy does not come your way. Toxic people reduce your chances of having a successful life but with careful planning and thought, your life can meet all your expectation and dreams.
