Unspoken Boundaries: How to Protect Your Soul from Toxicity

As I stand in the middle of the room, gossip swirls around me like a thick, choking fog; the dark air fills the space between the crowd and me. All I can think about is home. How do I protect my soul from toxicity without bringing attention to myself? Everywhere I turn, I face deep wounds of sorrow, wounds that run more profound than the Mississippi plains and no one sees this? Empathic as I am, this is my view of life. They’ve festered, reinfected over and over until decades of pain became so familiar I barely feel it anymore. I stand there, frozen, in disbelief at how people can live like this—so untouched, so unaware. I tell myself I can’t let it affect me.

But what does one do when the world around them is out of their control?
Imagine an invisible, electric shield standing tall and strong, protecting you from everything you choose not to be a part of. It moves as you move, guiding you through life as a powerful, unbreakable force, shielding you from energies that do not belong to you. There’s no need to voice your disapproval or defend your space. Instead, create the boundary deep within your soul.

Untouched, fully aware, and completely unaffected by the chaos around you, you remain free to be yourself and whole. As steady as you were when you left your home, as constant as you will be when you walk away from toxic people, places, and things. The world will continue to shift around you, but you remain constant. 

Be happy wherever you go. These unspoken boundaries are more than protection; they are your silent shield, your quiet strength.
