Beware, toxic family season is about to kick off. Get ready for it. Some signs to let you know that you're dealing with a toxic family: one, that little pit in your stomach that starts to get all wobbly and gurgle in your stomach right before you have to deal with them. That's a sign to let you know that your system and your soul is not really at ease. It's like this dread, you're preparing for battle almost. Number 2, while you're with them, you're constantly scrolling through social media, looking at your clock, your watch, because you know what? You're trying to get the hell up out of there. And number 3, after, you have to decompress, take some time for yourself. You may be even telling yourself, I'm not doing this again next year, I'm not doing this. That's a sign. It's a lot. It's toxic. Beware. Pay attention. Pay attention to your body.
