Where do I go from here? What can I learn and how to continue my life? What happens if people keep tearing me down and trying to keep me from living? Have you ever had a moment where you felt you lost control in your life? I have had moments like these. When I am feeling this way, I need to re-focus my energy on what I think is important. Other people do not matter and cannot get in your way if you want to succeed. It may seem like you have no way out, but there is always a way out and solution. When I re-focus my brain on what is tremendously important, I am being my most authentic self. I can then make the decisions I really want to make for myself. If someone is bothering you, peddling your garbage, trying to bring you down a level, please take a deep breath. Re-focus on what is important. Is the person that is trying to bring you down important FOR YOU or in YOUR LIFE? No, even if it is someone close to you that is causing you to feel sad about things. I would then minimize contact because I would want to be with positive things. If someone is not making you feel joy, and you are not enjoying their company it is not mandatory that they must stay in your life. You never have to lie to them, but no one will ever force you to talk to anyone. It hurts when you feel attacked, down, and can make you insecure about yourself. That is when it is most important to be your authentic self and to not let yourself down. You need yourself as much as anyone on this planet. It may not seem like that to everybody, but you are what you have. You bring magic into this world and no one else can replace that. There will always be haters and besties. It is equally important how you deal with both. When someone hates on you never think it is your fault. You also never have to tolerate the behaviour. People will try to play manipulation games with you, try to CONTROL you, but you are not a puppet. There is no one that can ever pull your strings. You have the ultimate power and consent over how you want to create your life. When someone disrespects you, they are removing themselves from your life. Do not tolerate the negative and do not bring the drama on yourself. I would say there is enough chaos and troubling things in the world, why do I have to add to the problems. There are people out there that can help lift you up and feel seen, but the most important person to prove this to is yourself. When you can build the emotional strength within yourself to avoid the toxic people in your life you will become an even more powerful person. Do not just give your power away. Remember to re-focus, take a breath, and remember I am in control.
