As time goes by, some things may not serve you anymore. Do
you need to close some doors to serve you better or even to help you heal?
Closing doors is a tough thing to do especially with people
that we care for, but to salvage our sanity, safety, and spirituality, we may
need to close the door to the people that suck the living energy out of us in
order to rise higher than we are now--to be who we are intended to be.
If you want to elevate yourself to the next level, you
cannot hang with others that are always bickering and complaining or belittling
and harassing. No matter how much you try, eventually, this lower level energy
will get to you. You will not be able to sustain your higher energy source.
Time-and-again, I have heard the words that "no one can
make you feel bad; only you can do this to yourself." These individuals
state that "you must take responsibility for your own happiness."
Yes, this is true, but it's much more easier said than done. Controlling your
way of being around people that are constantly griping may not always be the
solution. This takes tremendous effort and energy which can leave you feeling
exhausted. If people are constantly complaining, you may want to reconsider who
you are hanging out with. Otherwise, you will need to have a conversation
around this topic and then set some boundaries.
You can protect yourself with the energy bubble surrounding
you. You can cut the cords that are pulling at you on a daily basis, but when
you live or work with others everyday that are sucking the living daylights out
of you, eventually, you cannot sustain this, and you will falter.
Definitely, there are exceptions to this. I mean ending
relationships and moving on. For instance, perhaps you have an ill parent or
child. You cannot walk away from the heavy energy of hardship when it is
someone you care deeply for. Then you need to take a different route to sustain
your higher energy level. You must find avenues in your life that you are
grateful for. Sometimes they are difficult to conjure up in a time of grief and
pain, but they are there. Look for them, as small as they may seem.
Different routes need different tactics. Do you need to close some doors to serve you
better or to help you heal? Do you need to set boundaries? Or do you need to
foster a heart of gratefulness?
