“Some relationships nourish your soul whilst others damage it a nourishing relationship has an effect on your soul just like nourishing food does on your body it makes you feel good increases your energy to live your life and enhances your well-being healthy relationships for your soul are those that are lived inspire and help you become more of yourself with fearlessness they do not drag your spirit down into anxiety and confusion some people may love you but just not know how to be in a relationship with you that is healthy for your soul “
– Alana Fairchild
Have you ever been in a friendship that is one-sided or a business partnership where you do most of the work? These kind of relationships appear to work initially but before long resentment can settle in and they can become toxic.
In this podcast about why it is important to have nourishing relationships and to let go of those that do not nourish.
If you want to let go of people who are not good for you but may be reluctant to do so, this podcast is for you. We are not meant to accept relationships that are toxic.
Highlights from the episode:
- How risking that empty space brings better people into your world
- Why hanging on to toxic relationships holds us back
- Why it takes strength to let go and is an empowering experience
- How listening to your needs can have a lasting positive affect in your life.
QUOTES
“I’ve had quite a lot of experience with relationships, especially friendships with women who who never really were able to commit or connect fully into the friendship. Sometimes we feel like we’ve got to hang on to people in life and we feel that if we don’t hang on to these people will be alone and lonely”
“Sometimes when were hanging on to relationships or friendships that are no longer working for us we are actually filling this space inside of us for possibility and wonder to grow and be experienced in our world now ”
“So if you’re different, too different to your friends or your relationships right now and something’s not working, maybe ask whether it’s time to let them go or perhaps ask for what you need and if you get a negative response to this then maybe you will have let them go”
