1. Make a plan and stick to it. Set boundaries, develop a plan to decrease contact, be direct and firm, set a timer to leave if needed, and find support networks.
2. Seek validation from sources other than the toxic person. Connect with people who build you up and recognize your worth.
3. Consider counseling or therapy to help you work through difficult emotions or beliefs that might prevent you from cutting the toxic people out of your life.
4. If necessary, seek the help of an attorney or law firm to protect yourself legally if toxic people are threatening or trying to control you.
5. Develop alternative activities so you can fill your time with healthier habits. Make a hobby of learning something new, taking a class, writing, or starting a new exercise routine.
6. Learn and practice how to emotionally distance from toxic people without completely cutting them out.
