So my thoughts, tee hee... are as Christians we are to set boundaries, but ultimatley we are here to Glorify God and if he has us in a situation where things are negative, it is for our refinement, as well as the negative person's... So, what does that look like? A touhg balance, especially when dealing with loved one's, both friends and famliy... Or maybe I am just rationalizing.... Or maybe the Love that exists in our heart (Jesus) and the love we exude (The Holy Spirit), and the Grace that has been extended to us (God via Christ, aloows us the power we need to overcaome any obsatcle, as we glorify him for our pursuits, if we belive that God has us in the situation to Glify him... Just a thought and pursuit, Oh, Ephesians 5, offers some advise on loving all people and being salt and light, exuding the fruits of the spirit... I do know where to draw that line, myself with reagrds to people that suck that very light out of you.... God bless Great post. except for no bibilcal reference, just your own thoughts, seemingly….

Just a thought and pursuit,

Oh, Ephesians 5, offers some advise on loving all people and being salt and light, exuding the fruits of the spirit… I do know where to draw that line, myself with reagrds to people that suck that very light out of you….

God bless

A good friend laid out this truth to me many years ago - and I have tried to lived by it in my life. But it is more of a challenge when those people are family - then it becomes about setting the right boundaries. Thanks for posting - I keep it up!

I've added it to my sidebar. I run a weekly feature called Fitness Friday, and I plan to direct my readers here in the weeks to come. So THANKS! I love that you've included a post about toxic people in your fitness blog. So many people fail to see a connection between their environment and their fitness level. It's like they compartmentalize everything: Fitness, spirituality, family, friends, etc. But in reality it is all intertwined and connected in ways we can't even see. I love what you've said!! Blessings to you! Sandy Just recently found this site and I love it. I’ve added it to my sidebar.

Seems like so many people are interested in "Detoxing", yet they tend to limit it to a Physical detoxification. That's great, but developing strategies to handle Spiritually and Emotionally toxic people is of even greater benefit. Thanks for sharing. Dr. George Burroughs Hi Alissa,

Thanks for a sharing a good message. I like your thought of giving them a two minute time limit! :) We need to gravitate toward and spend our time with those peoople who also love the Lord and have desire for His very best for OUR lives and for THEIR OWN lives as well. Don't let the "toxic" people ruin your days and your life. Blessings for all the hope and inspiration you and Jeremy have given me and so many other people as well.
