Do not allow anyone to walk in your mind with dirty feet Friday, 23 Feb
It’s true that our happiness lies in our hands or rather minds, but it’s also true that we do base our happiness on the people around us. And, why not? 😅
We are after all human and are dependent on each other for so many things, so why not happiness? 🫣
Wise people say, “The less you expect, the more you will be happy”. And, it is true, but if we don’t expect from our close ones then who?🤔
However, there are some people who inspire you and then there are some who drain you, pick them wisely. But again how?
Picking people or cutting them from your life doesn’t mean you stop keeping a relationship with them.
It simply means that you love and respect yourself, and for your happiness and peace, you keep them at a distance, if not physically, then mentally and emotionally. 🙉🙈🙊
Is this possible? Well, everything is if you put in the required effort.
To start with, here are 3 simple efforts you can work on
Pull back the amount of time, energy, or emotional availability you give them
Keep your interactions to safe topics or activities
Maintain your boundaries

Life is short. Don’t waste it on negative people who are inconsistent in their efforts for you. 📌
As Albert Einstein said, “Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution”.
Remember, you can be kind and still choose to walk away (mentally, emotionally, or physically) from toxic people.
And then when you are around people who inspire you, you can base your happiness (a part of it) on them. 😉
Have a happy weekend
Love,
