Avoid toxic people from "summary" of Keep Going by Austin Kleon
Surround yourself with people who lift you up, who inspire you to keep going. It's easy to get sucked into the negativity of toxic people, those who drain your energy and bring you down. They may be pessimistic, critical, or just plain mean. Whatever the case, their toxicity is contagious, and it can seep into your life if you're not careful. Toxic people can come in many forms - friends, family members, colleagues, even strangers on the internet. They may not always intend to harm you, but their negativity can still have a powerful effect on your mental and emotional well-being. It's important to recognize when someone is toxic and to set boundaries to protect yourself from their influence. Don't feel guilty about distancing yourself from toxic people. Your well-being should always come first. It's not selfish to prioritize your mental health and happiness. In fact, it's essential for your own growth and creativity. By surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people, you create a nurturing environment where you can thrive and continue to pursue your goals. Remember, you have the power to choose who you allow into your life. It's okay to say no to toxic relationships and to seek out those who bring out the best in you. Surround yourself with people who encourage you, who believe in your potential, and who inspire you to keep going, no matter what challenges you may face. Your journey is yours alone, so make sure you're surrounded by those who will help you along the way.
