In the course of your life, you will be faced with relationships or friendships that have become toxic for you to continue. By toxic, I mean they no longer support you and the path you have chosen for your life. You may be hanging on to these relationships more because of what they used to contribute to your life than anything they contribute now. In some cases, these relationships have changed so much they’re actually depleting your life somehow, sapping your energy and eating away at your self-esteem.

Being 100% responsible for your life includes having to make what feel like tough decisions where these types of relationships are concerned. You can let them continue, you stand up for yourself and make known what your needs are now, or you can choose to end the relationship altogether.

If you have to end the relationship, bless and release that person. Let go of what was or what could have been, and look for the gifts the relationship gave you while it was a part of your life. Grieve the loss and then prepare for the blessings you now have room in your life to receive.
