How to spot a toxic person in your life, SELF-reflection, are you the toxic person in someone’s life
| You leave feeling emotionally | exhausted after an encounter with them |
| You feel as though you’re walking on eggshells around them frequently | |
| They comment on the smallest flaw or perceived imperfections | |
| Nothing you can say or do is good enough | |
| You or others are blamed for the negative feelings and circumstances in their life | |
| They violate your boundaries and thy never respect a “NO” |

Repeat After Me:
Today I vow to be a cycle breaker in my family. The buck stops with me and the healing in my family starts with me.
I am open and willing to see myself, learn myself, and accept myself beyond what I have been taught to know about me.
A cycle breaker is someone who recognizes harmful or dysfunctional traits that exist in the culture of their family and decides to discard these traits and trade them in for something different. This can be life changing and liberating work that unfortunately may trigger a negative response in other family members.
Cycle breakers: Those who come from childhoods with struggles such as abuse, dysfunction, control, blame, shame, addiction, or neglect… but they break the cycle.

Get out of the bubble. ...
Decide what love means for you. ...
Set boundaries.
