Good Vibes, Good Life

Prioritize self-care

Instructions

Identify and distance yourself from toxic relationships.
Evaluate the relationships in your life. Which of these relationships consistently drain your energy or bring negativity? Once identified, take steps to distance yourself from these relationships. This might mean having fewer interactions with certain people, setting boundaries, or in some cases, ending relationships altogether.
Conduct regular self-checks on your behavior and attitudes.
Review your own actions and attitudes regularly to ensure you are not contributing to toxicity around you. This could be as simple as reflecting at the end of each day on interactions that could have been handled better or considering if your behavior might be affecting others negatively. Ask yourself: "Have I been fair and kind to everyone around me today?" If not, how can you improve?
Cultivate relationships that promote growth and positivity.
Actively seek out and nurture relationships with individuals who support and uplift you. These relationships are characterized by mutual respect, encouragement, and positive interactions. Evaluate your friendships and professional relationships: Do they add value to your life? Are these people encouraging your personal growth?
Set boundaries to protect your personal peace and energy.
Write down a list of personal boundaries that protect your peace, such as not discussing work after hours or needing one weekend day solely for personal time. Communicate these boundaries to friends, family, and colleagues to help them understand your needs.
Practice self-care to maintain your physical and mental health.
Plan a weekly schedule that includes activities for both physical (like yoga, walking, or gym sessions) and mental (like meditation, reading, or hobbies) self-care. Set reminders for these activities to ensure you follow through each week.
