    If something or someone makes you feel bad, get it or them out of your life.

    Find contentment within yourself if you want a healthy relationship.

    Let go of things and don’t let your ego control you.

      BUT: differentiate between a person who makes you feel bad, and a person who makes you realize your conscience feels bad.

      Learn to differentiate challenge from raw toxicity. Generally speaking, if someone is challenging you in a healthy way, then talking about it with them results in you feeling healthier and stronger. If talking about it with them just makes you feel sick and broken, it’s probably more toxic than useful.

        Knocking on the door of 40. I spent this week moving into my own new place after a decade of toxicity, so this one resonates with me as well.
