Dealing With Toxic People

Amanda Hainline addresses people who irritate or frustrate us, arguing that such individuals are in our lives to trigger personal growth (patience, kindness, forgiveness). She advises pausing, self-reflecting when irritated to see which inner wound is being mirrored, and offers listeners the option to request tailored meditations or group resources to help with healing.

Hi, it's Amanda again, and I have allergies, but I'm here to talk to you today about the people in your life that you don't like. Everybody's got them. I've got them, you've got them. Your next door neighbor's got them. We all have those people in our life that drive us absolutely at the wall, that we're not even sure what their purpose is in our life, that just frustrate us beyond belief, that we can't believe are still walking around, because they are. You know, we just. We just don't even know why they're here or. Or why they're in our life at all. So I'm here to tell you why. I'm here to tell you why those people or in your life. This is a message just as much for you as it is for me. So I'm going to channel this message for you today to kind of give you a little bit of different perspective. And you may know this, but it's a good reminder. So we have people in our lives that are challenges for us. We have people in our lives that drive us absolutely crazy. That may be our parents, that may be our kids, that may be our boss, that may be our neighbor. It could be anybody. The checker at the grocery store, anyone. You know that every time we see him, we're just, oh, gosh, so frustrating to even look at them sometimes. But here's the thing. Everyone in our life is in our life for a purpose. Every single person that you encounter on a daily basis has been placed in your life to help you grow. Especially those that are frustrating to you. Especially those that try your patience. Oops, I'm using my computer for light. So that's what that was. People that try your patience, people that, you know, you wish would take another tract and go a different direction, but they keep showing up. And the reason they keep showing up is because, believe it or not, you need them there. You need them to learn patience. You need them to learn kindness, peace, love, forgiveness. All of those emotions, all of those things that we believe deep down that we are blessed with and that we are at our core. These people help to bring out at a very high level. They give us all kinds of opportunities to do this. So these are the reasons that those people are in your life. How do you handle them day to day? You handle them moment to moment. Take a deep breath. If someone says something that irritates you, the reason is it's not them, it's actually you. Okay, so if someone Says something to you that just. Oh, you just. You just get so upset and you just. Why? Why do they keep saying that to me? Why did they act that way? Well, what's happening is it's a mirror for you. So whenever we have these people in our lives that show up, that frustrate us and that cause us to really look at ourselves in a different way, or we're pointing the finger and we're going, oh, you just make me so mad. Really look at what they're saying to you. And a lot of times it's not them, It's. They're hitting something of you on the inside and they're just being a mirror for your insecurity, for your place where you don't love yourself, for a place where you don't feel good and safe inside yourself. So next time that happens, I want you to look at that. I want you to look at what they're saying and then look inside yourself and go, wow, you know what? I really do. I feel that way about myself. You know, they are mirroring to me what I'm feeling about myself. So that's an opportunity for you actually to go into yourself and start doing some healing. You know, listen to the light languages that have to do with that. And if I don't have a light language up or a meditation up or something that addresses that particular issue, send me an email. I want to know about it because I'm going to make one just for you. Okay? There are a lot of people out there with the same types of situations in their lives and I want to be there for you. I want this community to be a huge resource for any problem that you're going through. So whatever it is, just know that you can email me and I will put that on my list of things to do. I will send back a personal email to you saying thank you for your input and I will let you know when that particular recording is up. So that's something that I'm promising to you. If you've got some issue that you're working through with a certain person or a certain thing, you're welcome to also recommend group challenges. You know, be happy to address what you're going through in a group challenge as well, because I guarantee you, you're not alone in your journey. You're not alone in what you're going through. So all those people in your life that frustrate you really start taking a good look at why they frustrate you and what part of you on the inside that that's hitting. Because understanding that will help you understand yourself better and know where you need to heal. And you know what? Those people are either, number one, gonna go away or, number two, show you something else that you need to heal. So just be grateful to those people in your life that are there to bring those things out and bring those things to your attention. So next time you see one of those people, just give them a little love, give them a little blessing, because they're there to help you out in your life, whether you really view it that way on a daily basis or not. Okay? So new perspective on those people that drive you crazy. And I really hope this helps you out again. Let me know if there's something that I can do for you to help you through that journey. Okay? Thanks. I'll talk to you next time.
