Hey there, it's Kati again
thanks for coming back to check out my videos
today I'd like to talk about a tip
that I give to
all of my client's I even have to give it to myself repeatedly to remind myself
about this
and this has to do with people suffering from anxiety, stress, depression
you name it this is something that we should all
constantly
evaluate in our lives
and that is
not spending time with people
who are bad for us
Okay well that sounds really easy
people who we hate we probably don't hang out with people who are really mean to us
we probably don't hang out with
but if you really think about it
there are probably people in your life that I call toxic friends
especially when we're talking about eating disorder people
we go into inpatient
we're they're with maybe six to ten other girls some of which want to
get better, like you
are working hard
to pull through and it's really difficult and they're there to help
support you those are great friends to have around and that's why i'm hoping to
cultivate in this website is a big support system of people rooting for us
right to do better not to do worse
but there's always a few people in those treatment programs who
kind of make a life of being in treatment
they don't really want to get better
and they kind of pull the rest of us down
they even put up websites and things to help promote anorexia and
promote
sickness
why would you do that
these are people that can hinder you're recovery
and I know it's hard
to let people go and I'm not saying that you have to tell your friends, that you have to call them
up and say
hey you know I was watching this video and I'm not friends anymore "click"
that's not what I'm saying
I'm saying limit your interaction with people like this
because I guarantee if you evaluate it after
Let's say you go have coffee with this friend who is toxic
afterwords you probably feel worse about yourself
you're probably counting calories more than you normally do
you skipped a snack
not on purpose but kind of on purpose
because
they're in your head
they're making bad comments
about you about themselves about what's going on
and those people just aren't
healthy
so that's my tip that I give to everybody whose suffering from anything
even if you're just depressed I'm sure I'm sure that you're hanging out with
people who
probably aren't good for you this could even be a boyfriend
or a girlfriend
somebody who tears you down instead of builds you up
what I'd encourage you to do is take out that journal that I told you to purchase
hopefully a long time ago you go it you've been jotting down notes, but today
I'd like you to make a list of the people that you spend the most time with
and just make notes, take note of what they say to you take not of how you feel when
you leave them
when you've spent
a couple hours
I hope you feel better not worse
and so we'll stop you know we'll stop torturing ourselves when we surround ourselves the bad
negative energy it's much moreo refreshing to spend time around people
who
just build us up
they're there to support
I hope that's helpful
continue to make your comments and to share this if you're on linkedin if your

anybody this can be helpful for
your mom, your friend, your brother
all of us need to be supported by people who love us and care for us

things you know about it right away

step at a after another
