In 2018, the word “toxic-h” was declared the “Word of the Year” by Oxford, due to the increase in the use of the word on a global level.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think about how often we hear or say that “This is a toxic person”, that “A work environment is toxic” and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what does it mean when we say “toxic”? We mean a person who absorbs the positive energy of another, who often creates unpleasant situations and problems with his behaviour, and who brings tension wherever he is. The toxic person will try to put you down, control you, and is always right in every conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if a cuckoo doesn’t bring spring, a toxic person is enough to spoil the mood for many.<\/span><\/p>\n

A toxic environment is one where when you enter, you feel short of breath, your energy shrinks, you feel weaker, your mood is low, and you may feel sudden anxiety or fear, or intense flight tendencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a toxic environment, it’s natural to not feel comfortable and happy, which is why you usually try to avoid it if you can.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what if you can’t? If it’s your work environment and you can’t quit, or if it’s your close family environment that you have to see?<\/span><\/p>\n

Arm your energy with the following tips<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you can quit, do it without a second thought<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you can afford to quit, do it. Because it’s only a matter of time before a toxic work environment takes its toll on you, with bad words whispered behind smiles, passive-aggressive treatment, derogatory glances that “seemed” you, snaps that only you heard and stabbings that drew no blood and nobody saw . But, you feel all this very normally and it affects you psychologically much more than you think. If you didn’t know, a new word has come out specifically for this workplace bullying, the word mobbing.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Choose, as much as possible, the people you have next to you<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      There are some faces that you cannot avoid, such as e.g. your mother. If your mother is “toxic”, you surely already know it and you have found for many years how to avoid her and not listen to what she tells you.<\/span><\/p>\n

      But if your girlfriend or partner is “toxic” and their behaviour often gets you down, maybe it’s time to make better choices that will light up your life and support you energetically?<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Boost your own energy with positive affirmations<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Take some time each day to make positive statements that will strengthen your thoughts and feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Say out loud, as many times as necessary, to feel them in your energy:<\/span><\/p>\n
