The high vibe versus low vibe obsession in the self-help world makes me want to throw up. People-pleasers and those who want to take the high road all the time usually act that way because they’ve been conditioned into this whole high vibe/low vibe idea. It’s a misinterpretation regarding positive energy and positive thinking. But it can lead to a lack of boundaries that leaves you feeling really drained and resentful because you’ve trained people to expect you to always say ‘Yes’ to whatever they ask of you. So if you struggle with boundaries, are a people pleaser, or think you need to be high vibe all the time, then you're really going to relate to my client and caller Irina’s situation. She’s feeling the pressure of staying high vibe, and it’s created inner turmoil and stress when she’s triggered by people who don’t respect her time and energy. In this episode of the Love Life Connection podcast, you’ll learn how to respond when others hurt your feelings and exploit your lack of boundaries when you’re trying to stay in a positive mindset. I’ll teach you why you should focus on your state of being instead of emotions from moment to moment, how to change your relationship with a toxic workplace, and what to do about difficult people in your life. 8:46​ - The big picture of emotions and your overall state of being 14:27 - What you can do when someone hurts your feelings and you take it personally 19:21 - The only two options you have when you’re in a toxic work environment 21:58 - The common denominator in Irina’s situation (and what she fears may happen by asserting boundaries) 26:20 - A familiar method you can use for people in your life and how to train yourself to set boundaries 34:07 - Breaking down the call with Irina with some key takeaways I hope you enjoyed this episode!
