Know When to Say "No"

Lately, many of my clients have been speaking of 'toxic' relationships in their lives - whether it be their relationship with their job, coworkers, spouses, friends, or neighbors.  These great people stress, suffer from  insomnia, lose weight, become ill because of their diminished immune systems, and waste valuable hours of their lives ruminating how to negociate thru these toxic relationships.   Acupuncture alleviates the physical manifestations of this toxicity and can eliminate the unhealthy side effects stemming from their stress.  It leaves them with an overall feeling of balance and calm.
Yesterday, a patient of mine who has been seeing me on a regular basis for quite a number of years, and who has seen quite a bit of life, shared a great piece of advice that her mother gave her many years ago.  She told me to pass it on to others, so here it is:

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  "It's much easier to stay out than to get out."
Stay out of anything toxic at the onset and you won't have to worry about getting out.
If you've gotten yourself into a toxic situation, get out and get out fast!!

Pretty simple, I thought....but then again, life can be as easy as we want it to be.  It's all a matter of knowing when to say 'no' and when to 'let go'.  Detoxify yourselves today - you'll feel better sooner than you realize!
