Step 4: Remove Toxic People

So, when you are going through a major change, you should only be surrounding yourself with supportive, loving people.  If someone is dragging you down, or dragging you into their own personal drama, I call them "Black Holes".  You can only handle so many of those in you life.
I highly recommend going through your friend list on Facebook, and to hide the statuses of the negative people from your news feed.  You want to be surrounding yourself with positive thoughts. I'm not saying unfriend them or anything.  I just know that when you are constantly hearing negative things, it's harder to not look at the negative in your life instead of the positive.
We all have that friend that we know we shouldn't have.  The one that we really don't like to spend time with, because you know that they just want to sit and complain about all of the wonderful things in their life, and drag you down in the process.  Now is as good of a time as any to let that person go.  You are making changes in your life, and it is time to take care of you, not them.  It may sound a little selfish like that, but you need to be taking care of you to the best of you ability.  If they aren't helping on the journey, it's time to let them go.
I have recently done this.  My stress level is much lower, and I feel much better overall.
Good luck!
