Re-evaluating Friendships & Relationships

Reconnecting with old friends and disconnecting with those that no longer bring your spirit peace. Just like we outgrow activities and things we also do this with people in our lives. They no longer serve the peace or growth of our spirit, of our soul so we break up or disconnect. The grief sets in and you heal from that disconnection and now you learned something about you want or need in friends, people, community. That is what life is about. 

So why do we cling to people that just are not healthy for us or no longer serving us? Because that part of ourself is still struggling, it’s comfortable. It means we don’t have to change, we don’t have to grow or stand up for ourselves or limit certain toxic behaviors. We don’t have to establish boundaries and take back our power. Thus we stay in a relationship that only perpetuates the reality we make for ourselves. The drama continues, the cross boundaries, the cycles of heartbreak or denial or whatever that person gives to you.

Now this is not saying that this person is a bad person or anything. Please don’t take it that way, it just means they are not on the same level as you. They are going through their own things and aren’t ready to or want to do the same work as you. And this is okay. It’s okay to move forward without them, it’s okay to let go. Don’t bash them, simply allow yourself the peace. You never know what someone is going through so always be kind. 

So rethink relationships if they are no longer serving you. Maybe they still are, maybe they aren’t. But if you are working on growth and change analyze things to see where you are at. Then start doing what is best for you. Go meet new people, reconnect with old friends, find the people who support, love and build you up. That is what I am doing now. I am finding my people and in doing so building a tribe of fantastic individuals! By learning to love myself and be confident in myself I know what I want in others. Doing the work on myself has changed me forever and I love who I am and what I am becoming! Here’s to making wonderful friends and being a supportive beacon of Hope. hehe see what I did there!
