Letting go of toxic things in our life is sometimes difficult. It’s easier said than done. Especially when holding on is such a comfort cushion of security. Feeling secure is what most of us want, but we need to feel the discomfort of fear. We need to feel that discomfort because that excels us into the next chapter of our lives. When things become uncomfortable for you, that means God is preparing something much greater for you. He wants you to grow. He wants you to expand your mind, expand your ways of thinking, and expand your ways of dealing with everyday life. As you mature and get older, you outgrow your clothes, your shoes, and you outgrow people. But you also outgrow yourself. No one is the same person today that they were five years ago. If so then…whew chile, you got a whole lot of reevaluating to do!
Letting go of toxic things and dusting it in the wind to build a better you, tallies a broad spectrum. From relationships to jobs to old habits, it’s a surfeit of things that holds us back from transcending in life. Sometimes we don’t realize that things are toxic until the fumes have completely clouded our judgment.
Old habits can be very toxic. Whether it’s smoking, swearing, watching reality television, drinking sodas, sleeping in, etc; we never realize how much something can be holding us back from reaching our full potential in life. Old habits are very much a ritual we all must someday outgrow. Breaking old habits aren’t an easy thing to do, but the first step is stepping out of your box of comfort and trying something new. New routines and newfound interest are a breath of fresh air. Once you begin trying new things, your old habits become a disrelished thing of the past. Once you feel yourself disliking the toxic things you once loved, you’ve finally ridded those virulent fumes.
Relationships are also a huge unchaining tug of war for many people. Wrapped up in the raptors of love, friendship, kinship, lust, and maybe even infatuation, it’s tough breaking off something or someone you’ve grown to know and love. When that something or someone is no longer feeding you the nutrition of effective love, the situation becomes toxic. Sometimes the best thing to do in life is to move on to the next chapter of lessons. That’s what life is. A book of lessons. You learn, you grow, and you cognize. In that process, things will become uncomfortable, but that’s a sign of growth. If you’re constantly content with life, then you aren’t growing.
It Gals, allow yourselves to grow. Rid all of your toxic ties and ways and watch your life FLOURISH!
