Set boundaries with negativity and toxic influences in your life from "summary" of The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon

In a world where negativity and toxic influences seem to be everywhere, it's important to protect yourself and your energy. This means setting boundaries with people, situations, and even your own thoughts that bring you down and drain your positivity. Just like you wouldn't invite someone who constantly criticizes and complains into your home, you shouldn't allow that kind of energy into your life either. Negativity is like a virus - it can spread quickly and infect everything around it. By setting boundaries and not allowing negativity to take root in your life, you are protecting yourself from becoming infected. This doesn't mean pretending that everything is perfect or ignoring problems, but rather choosing not to dwell on things that you can't control or that don't serve you in a positive way. Toxic influences can come in many forms - from toxic relationships to toxic environments. These influences can slowly chip away at your energy and happiness, leaving you feeling drained and depleted. By setting boundaries and removing yourself from toxic situations, you are taking control of your own well-being and ensuring that you are surrounded by positivity and support. It's important to remember that setting boundaries with negativity and toxic influences is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength. It takes courage to say no to things that bring you down, but by doing so, you are creating space for positivity and growth in your life. So, be intentional about who and what you allow into your life, and don't be afraid to set boundaries to protect your energy and well-being.
