Habits To Help Make You Less Toxic

(©2018 wytchywynd photography)


Hi and welcome to the Under Blue Skies blog.

It is a sad indictment of life in the 21st Century when it becomes valid to write a post of this nature, but sadly it is true that people are often viewed as being “Toxic”.  In fact a whole generation has been growing up believing that of other people.

The definition of “toxic” in The Oxford English “Living” Dictionary reads

“Toxic = Very bad, unpleasant, or harmful”.

Using that as a starting point I have listed a number of habits that you can cultivate to ensure that your personality is less likely to appear “Toxic”.

Accept Yourself – accept yourself as you are and stop trying to be something or someone you are not.  There is always room to change but make sure those changes are for the better.

Eliminate Doubt – this goes hand in had with self acceptance.  You are capable, good enough, strong willed you just have to believe in who you are and stop making comparisons

Make Every Day A Spa Day – ladies how much pleasure can you get from a bit of personal care?  You know the thing sauna, massage and so on.  Well the good news these things are becoming more and more available, with minor additions your bath tub can become as good as any spa.  You can also buy portable foot spas plus there are many massage practitioners who can give you treatments at home.

Not forgetting the men – you can also benefit from such treatments, in fact, I know some men who pamper themselves more than women and guess what guys?  I have it on good authority that they feel great afterwards!

Become More Creative – using your creativity can actually decrease those bad vibes coursing through your body.  Painting can be both relaxing and therapeutic, playing a musical instrument or even just listening to certain styles of music can bring about changes of state from anger to calm, from agitated to relax.

Have a Good Cup of Tea or Coffee - There is nothing so good for calming you down if you are getting stressed as a “nice cup of tea or coffee”.  Take 5 minutes or so, sit quietly with a warm “cuppa” and let the stress just drift away.

Be Grateful For Your Friends – Your friends are valuable, between you can create new memories and have fun.  Friends rally round you when you are down and they will help you in an emergency.  Showing that you care by making time for them goes a long way to reducing “toxic”

Be confident and show it! – but beware of arrogance!  Confidence is a wonderful quality and can often be something that others admire.

Tune into You! – listen to what you are saying and if it is “toxic” get rid of it.  Getting rid of the noise and being more gentle with what you say and how you say it can work wonders.

Constructive not Destructive Criticism – if you have to make a complaint about someone or something do it in a constructive way and use it as an opportunity to teach so that everyone benefits.

Communicate – writing letters, sending little thank you notes or even picking up the phone for a chat is far far better than the sterile world of email and text message.  A hand written letter can convey a stong message that you do care about the person to whom you are writing.

Look after your body and make something of yourself – now this is one I am still working on.  I work to eat healthily and take more exercise in order to look after myself but I still sometimes give way to temptation!

And lastly

Give up the chats by the water cooler! – these infernal machines are a breeding ground for toxic conversations.  Please avoid them like the plague.

So as we draw this piece to an end I will just add that I understand that it is very easy to be drawn into toxic ways, but with a little work and determination you can break free and become a person that people admire, sometimes envy, and often respect.

Best Wishes
