You can feel what brings you down and what lifts you higher.
But if you're someone who grew up stuck in a toxic environment, you might have learned to
cope by investing all your energy into lifting up everyone around you with the hope that
maybe they won't let you down anymore. But that's a full time job that's often carried
into adulthood. Not to mention it's often a fruitless endeavor.
One way to heal is to realize that you are no longer required to stay stuck in toxic
environments the way you once were.
You can now invest your energy into lifting yourself up and taking yourself out into the
world, into healthier environments that are more of a match for who you’re becoming.
