Never let a toxic person rent space in your head...


Never let a toxic person rent space in your head.  When they lash out at you, either overtly or covertly (and they will), know that their actions are a product of their inner turmoil.  The actions are related to the toxic person’s insecurities, jealousies, defenses.  Do not lash out and reciprocate in anger.  Go inward to your place of quietness and mindfulness.  Simply remove yourself from this person whose negative actions are targeted toward you.  We have known since childhood that if we place our hand on a hot stove burner, we will recoil quickly to avoid pain.  The same reaction should be applied when attacked verbally and/or behaviorally to a toxic person.  Do not give them to power to disrupt your inner peace and joy. Never let a toxic person rent space in your head.
