3 Critical Signs it’s Time to Re-evaluate a Toxic Friendship

    When we think of toxic relationships, we tend to think of dysfunctional family members or toxic romantic relationship. However, toxicity can run rampant in friendships as well. Below are 3 critical signs it may be time to re-evaluate and possibly break off a toxic friendship:   1.      Your friend spends more time tearing you down than building you up.     ·        If you have a friend who is consistently tearing you down instead of being supportive and building you up, it’s probably time to re-evaluate the relationship. For example, when having a conversation with your friend you feel misunderstood, attacked, or demeaned - you have a toxic relationship. If you feel consistently your feelings or actions are judged or dismissed, it’s time to rethink the relationship. If this is something that occurs regularly, it may be time to take a break to reflect on the future of your friendship.     1.      You have different life values   ·        While most the time it is ok to have differen

Patience

Today my patience was gone. I have 3 kids, so it’s typically gone everyday.


Today, I had to go to the dreaded DMV. With a husband on his lunch break and 3 kids in tow. 


Because of coronavirus, they are starting the line outside and limiting the capacity inside. I was waiting in the hot October sun for over 30 minutes, and a DMV employee comes out shouting “OUR SYSTEMS ARE DOWN! You can wait if you want, but there’s no ETA of when they will be up and running.”



Cue the “our hard earned tax dollars at work” dialogue in my head. 


What I realized while waiting in that god-awful sun, is that everything worth waiting for takes patience. My husband and I want to buy our first home, and I need my ID to close on our house. 


I kept texting my husband “should we just go?” He would reply no, just wait it out. Ok fine; and wait I did. 


But I got it done. Now I am one step closer to buying our first house. All because of a little (A LOT) of patience. 


So if you need patience in your healing process, with your children, with waiting for your DMV number to be called  - remember good things can come from waiting patiently for them to be bestowed onto you. 


Ps: the DMV needs to get their act together, says everyone everywhere 🤣
