Undoubtedly you can and do put up with a lot, but there are
just some things you should not tolerate.
It’s not about being bolshy or obnoxious, or just plain
unreasonable, it’s about what you need and want as a person, how you want to be
treated and how you want to treat others in return.
Let’s take a look at 7 things you should not tolerate.
1. No Communication
Personal relationships are the basis of everyday life, and
healthy relationships are based on honest, supportive, non-judgmental and
caring communication.
Living with someone who refuses to communicate with you is
one of the most important things you should not tolerate.
Not acknowledging and communicating feelings leads to
resentment and anger, which ultimately could result in a break down in the
relationship permanently.
Make the small changes that count and start sharing
thoughts, ideas and feelings with the people in your life.
2. Disrespect
Respect costs absolutely nothing.
Things like saying please and thank you, not cutting
somebody off when they are talking, not humiliating or demoralizing anybody,
standing up for women regardless of age, race or financial standing in life are
all small things that are synonymous with respect.
Take the time to greet the cashier warmly at the store, say
thank you to your employees for a job well done, thank your partner for small
things like helping you with the shopping and never ever treat anybody in your
life with any less respect than you expect to be treated with yourself.
3. Unhealthy Habits
Bad lifestyle choices, smoking, excessive drinking, a diet
consisting of processed, high fat junk food, absolutely no exercise and
absolutely no personal pride in looking after yourself are all things that
should not be tolerated.
These bad habits are easy to slide into and before you know
it they have started affecting every aspect of your life, your job and your
personal relationships.
Make the effort to be healthy, lose the extra weight, stop smoking
and exercise regularly and the rest of your life will follow suit.
Self-respect is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.
4. Clutter
Clutter in your home and your place of work are all things
that are extensions of our emotional feelings.
Clutter can make people feel incredibly claustrophobic,
anxious and depressed, which is a vicious cycle that repeats itself over and
over again.
Living with someone else’s clutter is even worse!
Make an effort for a clutter free living space.
5. Living a Joyless Existence
A balanced life is a happy life and part of having a
balanced life is making time to enjoy the special times with friends and
family, doing things you love and having a fulfilling social life.
Working all the time, never going out, never leaving your
office or seeing your friends will eventually have a negative effect on your
life, leading to loneliness.
Loneliness is one of the things you should not put up with.
6. Disorganization
Disorganization is one of those things you should never put
up with.
It has far reaching effects, making your soul feel anxious
and disorientated – feelings that subconsciously start affecting other aspects
of your life.
When you are disorganized, you never know where anything is,
are always surrounded by piles of mess and disorder, making you late, terribly
stressed and zapped of energy.
7. Negativity
Negative people and negative self-talk are possibly the
worst two combinations of influence that anybody can have in their life.
Consistent negativity has a dripping tap effect and if you
have a colleague, friend or family member that is always moaning, negative and
complaining, it will end up draining you completely and having a direct impact
on your life.
Positive thoughts start with you – the time is now.
