Living Your Best Life: Cutting Toxicity Out For Good

We've all been trapped in a moment of dissatisfaction, whether it's struggling with depression, toxic partners, anxiety, unsupportive friends and family or simply being lost with our purpose in life.

So how exactly do we overcome these struggles?

The first step we must take is realizing and analyzing the truth. Brainstorm and get to the root cause that is making you feel like you are stuck in a limbo-like state.

Ask yourself:

"Why am I not happy?"

"Is he/she good for me?"

"Do I need validation from this person?"

"Do I need toxic friends in my life?"

"What is my ideal life and how can I achieve it?"

After you have your answers, put them into action! If you feel as if someone is standing in your way of thriving, simply cut them off. Life is too short to dwell on toxic people, unhealthy habits, and or environments. Find your self-worth and set it high, after all, you only have one life and the best part is, YOU get to decide how it plays out.

I too am guilty of playing the victim countless times, but we have to understand that we hold the power to control our own path. The best advice that helped me was, taking charge of my life and not letting myself believe that life is this way because that is how it's intended to be. Once I stopped blaming the universe or people for my way of life, I was able to change how I felt about it emotionally and mentally. The key to this is gaining the ability to recognize that you don't have to go along with life as it is if you are not satisfied, just simply shift the narrative.

Lets recap:

1. Evaluate + Analyze - your state of mind.

2. Ask + Answer - why am I feeling this way and what can I do?

3. Decide + Take Action - put your plan in motion, this can involve healing, cutting toxic people off, and following your dreams.

4. Admit + Lead - understand that only you can make changes and take leadership of your own life.

5. Fulfillment + Happiness - finally, live your best life.
