Choosing or loosing your friends ?

Hello beautiful Souls. My message today is about choosing or loosing friends.

All through our lives we choose and loose friends as our needs, desires, circumstances and relationships change. Choosing who we share our energy and time with is something we need to give careful consideration to. It is also important to be reminded to evaluate our relationships and prioritize our own well-being.

We need to be reminded to highlight a crucial aspect of personal growth: * understanding who deserves our time and energy*

Three helpful tools:

Recognizing True Friendships

There is definitely an important dynamic and distinct point about the difference between people who seek us out for their convenience and those who genuinely value our presence.

True friends are those who make an effort to be in your life, offer support when you need it, and are consistent. It's not about them always agreeing with you, but about their willingness to show up, listen, and be a reliable source of support.

The Power of Boundaries

It is equally essential to also consider the importance of setting boundaries. It's easy to fall into the trap of doing things for others while expecting nothing in return, only to be left feeling disappointed.

Without any doubt, we have to also remind ourselves that we can't control how others will behave, but we can control our response to it.

When you feel disrespected or unappreciated, setting a boundary is a way of protecting your energy. This isn't selfish; it's a necessary act of self-preservation.

Prioritising Yourself

The most critical point in friendship is perhaps the most crucial one to understand : your mental health and peace of mind are non-negotiable! Putting yourself first isn't an act of selfishness, but a fundamental part of self-care.

When you are mentally and emotionally healthy, you are better equipped to show up for the people who truly matter and deserve your authentic self.

It's a valuable lesson that we are enough just as we are, and we should seek out relationships that honor that. Think again about this perspective when choosing or loosing friendship.
