un-follow the "light stealers"

Like I said, getting rid of the light stealers in our physical lives is not easy and we don't always have control over it, but we do have COMPLETE control in our "virtual lives."  There is absolutely no reason to follow people on social media if they make us feel less than.

What is a "light stealer"?  Simply put, it is someone who hurts you emotionally, someone who makes you feel less than, someone who takes away your inner light and happiness.  Light stealers can be a part of our "real life", but they can also be a part of our online lives.  Really, that's the place where they appear the most.

Ever since college, I have been a big believer that those who do not benefit your life should be eliminated from it.  If they cause you more stress than they do happiness, get rid of them!  I know, I know, it is easier said that done when you're talking about real life acquaintances and friends, but it makes your life so much better.  People change, time passes, you change, we all do.  There is nothing wrong with realizing that you have evolved from who you were and that your old friends might not be the best fit in your life anymore.  Change happens, time happens, there is no harm in it.

I urge you to go on social media with a purpose.  Instead of falling prey to mindless scrolling, go on and DELETE.  If someone always posts things that make you feel bad about yourself, get rid of them!  They will have NO idea.  Just do it.  Go on social media with the purpose of creating the most motivational and nurturing environment you can.  Un-follow the half naked gym selfies, the "better than thou" posts, the posts that only show highlights.  They don't deserve to be in your life.  This is YOUR YEAR and they shouldn't  share in any part of it.

-Always lifting you life,
Laura
