When you think about when you're at your happiest, you probably picture yourself in a place you've desired to be and surrounded by people you love to be around. Generally, it is not your vision to work your whole life in order to achieve a certain goal just to finally arrive there and be around people that you don't like or love. So much of achieving success is in the journey. It's not that the journey isn't tough at times but its how you handle it.
How do the people you hang around make you feel? Physically, how do you react? Your body will know what feels good and what doesn't. Are the people in your life contributing something positive to your every day life or are they sucking the energy out of you? Every relationship will be different, some people you can talk business with, some more emotional, some, you just adore their spirit and love being around them. Sure, we will all have our not so great days and our real friends will be there for us. However, if you are surrounded by someone that you constantly are reacting badly toward, than here's the secret: remove yourself from the situation. It's not that difficult to walk away from something or someone that makes you uncomfortable. Not all friends are created equal and that's ok.
Why choose to socially detox? You really are the sum of your network. Who are you hanging with? Are they like or dislike who you are and who you strive to be? Are the positive contributors or takers? Are they people you love but just can't be around right now? Are their intentions good or bad? All of these things are possible. The point is that by being aware and by listening to how you body reacts to certain situation is a great way to achieve happiness. If you are working to achieve happiness in the future - the fastest way to bet there is to make choices that make you happy now.
Love and Peace ,
