Jen -
It's good that you recognize this coworker is toxic. I have a friend that is the same way and I have to really mentally prepare to be around her (and it's not very often). She is loud, negative, everything "bugs" her, she talks about other people, etc. It's funny because we sometimes drive to yoga together, and I always think that I need more yoga to get over going to yoga with her! :) She has a lot of good traits also, but being around her is draining - I never participate in her negativity. I try to steer the conversations to a positive place. Try to steer clear of this person as much as you can - especially right now. Thanks for posting the "Being Human" lesson. Have fun with your nieces this weekend!

I am just about to go up and start my day. I am mentally preparing myself to stay clear of any negativity. It's Friday and I am focusing on having a nice time with my nieces. I liked the Human Lesson, it is so staight forward and I should be grateful for what I have been given. I think I am going to give yoga a try it would be good for my mind! Have a nice weekend Bodhi:)
Thank you for your post. I enjoyed reading your message. It can be hard when you have ended an affair to cope with the normal challenges of life - it's like all our energy has gone into just keeping NC. It is good that you are finding the strength to steer clear of toxicity ... I have learned to see toxic red flags now that I would have missed in the past. The lessons I have learned through ending my affair are serving me so well in all areas of my life. One important lesson I have learned is to give myself permission to NOT allow just anyone into my "space", and to leave situations that I don't want to be in or aren't good for me. Sometimes this even means missing out on things I would like to attend (short term pain) so as to avoid running into xAP un-necessarily.
Good work Jen & great attitude (-:
