People tend to see outer circumstances beyond their control as the culprit for their dissatisfaction and disappointment in life and work, thwarting them at every turn. Tip: Every day, without fail, take just 5 minutes to sit with yourself without distraction or disturbance, and breathe deeply. I remember committing to doing the tough work of “purging” from my life people who just couldn’t give, or be kind or loving. I then started to be more careful who I let into my inner circle and trusted. So many of the people I work with are engaged in relationships that are demeaning, devaluing, abusive or unhealthy.
