How often do we tolerate certain behaviours from people because we fear being alone?

Let’s face it: we have been created to be in community with others, however, we often don’t know what our standards are and so we just allow and allow and allow…

It’s become such a BIG thing for us to be connected to people especially in the pandemic. Our times in isolation mean we are alone with our thoughts and this often causes anxiety and depression.

This in itself leads to empty places, places where we chat with the first person to give us attention. It was out of sheer boredom and before we know it, this person has become a part of our daily lives and now it’s a thing of convenience and because we don’t want to offend, we tolerate… Even if that person adds no value.

Many of us have codependency issues and we tend to also become obsessed to a certain extent but we don’t want to admit that this is so, so we just continue in our unhealthy patterns.

We all have the power to change our life stories and lay the boundaries necessary for us to flourish and not just exist.

Cut ties with people who drain you and do not add value to your life, YOU have one life to live, so make it count! 

All my love
