In this article, I'll explain to you how to remove toxic people from your life and why it's a skill worth having.

Imagine waking up each and every morning full of energy, empowered, and ready to take on every challenge. Now imagine another life where, every single day, people around you drain you of your energy and leave you feeling utterly exhausted and full of self-doubt after a hard day's work. Which life would you want?

Putting toxic people out of your life really does make a lot of difference. It sort of refreshes your mind to focus more on personal growth and nurturing only positive relationships. But why has it been so very hard to do this most of the time?

Unfortunately, many of us feel a sense of guilt for ending relationships, even when they are bad for us. We hang on to the hope that we really could be able to change the other person if we try hard enough. Or we just don't like confrontation and fear the fallout from standing up for ourselves.

The thing is, you can design a life that'll serve you. And it starts with how to identify and remove toxic people from your orbit.

• Step 1: Trust your gut. If he's the person that gives you continuous draining, anxiety, or feelings of not being good enough, listen to those feelings. Your emotions are intuitive and tell you that something is off.

• Step 2: Set those boundaries like a boss. Clearly express what you will and won't tolerate, leading all your sentences with "I" in regard to your needs. Remember, in setting a boundary, you are not trying to change the other person; you are honoring yourself.

• Step 3: Treat self-care as a devotion to things that light you up and recharge you. When you invest in your own well-being, your power becomes untamed.

I encourage you to choose a path that will lead you into a life of positivity, growth, and genuine connections; you will inspire many others to do similarly, hence creating that ripple effect of empowerment.

Cutting out the toxic from your life isn't selfish; it's self-preservation. It's the choice to thrive, not just to exist. No more holding you back with guilt, false hope, or fear. Take back your power now and manifest what will always be yours in this world.

You got this. Let's take back our power together.
