We've all heard the term "toxic people". But how do we avoid them or deal with them? Well, as usual, the story might not be completely one-sided. Come along to explore how we can unwittingly encourage toxic relationships and how we can transform that toxicity into something positive! This episodes' Action Points: Cultivate Gratitude-- You can overdose on almost anything, but probably not on gratitude. Cultivating gratitude transforms the world we experience. Find One Support Person (or More)-- Community rocks! In fact, having someone you can connect with positively is one of the biggest things you can do to create positivity in your life. Find a person, or find a group, and see what a difference it makes! Practice Listening-- Listening is a powerful and mostly-forgotten practice. If we train ourselves to listen, we open pathways into deeper understanding and compassion with the people around us. Make a Person a "Project"-- Not for the faint of heart! In this practice, we actively try to change someone's positivity level. But here's the key -- if our goal is to change another person, we're doomed to failure. Instead, we have to hold this as a "light" goal, with the real goal being to change our own attitudes and compassion level.
