Addressing toxic people in your life isn't about cutting people out,
Canceling people from your life.
It is about the awareness.
There may be people in your life right now who are skeptical about your dreams,
About your vision,
About your work.
They can crush your ideas.
They can make you feel like you're on eggshells because you're not sure what to say or how to say it,
Which will affect how they respond to it.
And the truth is that these types of people,
These types of perspectives in your life can be really crushing,
Can be really devastating to moving towards your vision.
So today we're going to experience a practice that allows for you to create a boundary,
Draw a circle around your work,
A healthy boundary that allows you to deepen relationships with your existing people.
Now some people it may be easy and you may actually want to distance yourself immediately from them,
But others you may not want to cut them out of your life completely.
The people you spend your time with are the greatest indicator of what you will become.
And comments around you in conversation,
In reflection,
In response to some of your great announcements and excitements can really set you off track.
I'll give you an example with my own mom.
So with mothers in general,
There's a sense of really wanting to keep you safe,
Really wanting to make sure that you are okay.
But the truth is that growth requires us to take risks and that can be frightening,
Scary.
So with my mom,
There are certain things I share at certain points in our organizational journey and growth in our business where instead of having to worry about the risk or about the change or the uncertainty of something,
I get to share moments that are more about celebrating when things are done,
When there's an announcement,
When there's a win for our work.
And in that way,
It ends up being a beautiful,
Exciting time to celebrate certain aspects of what we're working on,
Really protecting the energy of the ideas as they grow,
As they go from seeds into full plants and harvests and the dreams become materialized.
So today we're going to move more into this practice that helps you transform toxic people into power people.
So go ahead and find yourself in a comfortable seated position,
Upright,
Allowing your spine to be free,
To connect to the above and below,
We're going to inhale for a count of six,
Hold and exhale on a shh sound for a count of 12.
So start off with a clearing breath,
Inhale everything in and exhale everything out.
And inhale for a one,

Place your hands over the center of your chest,
Over your heart center,
One on top of the other,
Calling in once again,
This future version of you.
Knowing today is different than before and every day we do this,
You can trust what arises will be exactly what you need today.
And experiencing this future version of yourself today,
Noticing what you're wearing,
What you look like,
What you see around you,
Noticing any new details,
If you're indoors or outdoors,
The kind of environment that you're in.
And as you sit in the presence of this future you,
Of this vision for your life,
Ask the question,
Who do I need to set better boundaries with to become the person in my vision?
Be here for a moment as you get the message that you need today,
Who do I need to set boundaries with to become the person in my vision?
And multiple things arise,
Stay here in the question,
Trust what comes up,
Who do I need to set better boundaries with to become the person in my vision?
And taking a moment with the information that has come through,
Taking a deep breath,
Inhaling and exhaling deeply.
And honoring this sacred information that has come through to you from your future self to your present self,
Coming back to that future self,
Calling them back into your present self.
Into the frame.
And seeing if you can actually see someone else in the frame as well,
Someone who would be spending a lot of time with this future you.
Maybe a friend,
A family member,
A mentor,
A teacher,
Or someone you don't know well,
Or someone you don't spend much time with now.
And letting yourself be fully present with this future you.
Now asking the question,
Who could I build a stronger relationship with to become the person in my vision?
Who could I build a stronger relationship with to become the person in my vision?
Asking this future self,
Who could I build a stronger relationship with to become the person in my vision?
And tapping into this opportunity of possibility.
Welcoming this power person or power people that have come through to you today.
Go ahead and take a deep breath,
Inhaling,
And a deep exhale.
And gently bring yourself back into the space,
Opening your eyes whenever you're ready.
So sometimes to become who we see in our vision,
We have to talk to people that aren't in our life yet.
Even if it's going out of our comfort zone,
It's important to expand.
So I invite you to start today.
Start today by building a relationship with the person,
The power person,
Or the power people that came through to you in today's practice.
Go ahead and tell them,
Tell this person about the practice that you did today.
Share with them that they are someone that came up for you as a positive force in your life.
And if you feel bashful,
If you feel embarrassed about sharing this,
Just imagine if someone told you that.
How excited,
How honored you would feel.
Go ahead and go forth step by step.
We are moving forward.
