Recently, I have been asked if I have shared with those I am “emotionally cleansing” from an explanation of my reasoning. AH……NO. Here is the reason, well, there is no reason, as I don’t need one. You see, my cleanse is my business.
Emotionally detaching from these toxic relationships is really a credit to me. By being more aware and honest with my feelings, it provides me with all the information that I need to take the next step. Part of the process, too, is taking an inventory of my part in the relationship. By stepping back, I alleviate my part and allow myself to pursue those relationships that envelop me with goodness, inspire me, and most of all, provide me with a safe haven.
Self-care doesn’t require an explanation to anyone. If those individuals are uncomfortable, then that is on them. I am only responsible for me and my actions. Self preservation is my business. It doesn’t mean I don’t care for these people, it merely means that I care about myself more.
