Listen, it is okay to be concerned about a friend because you wouldn’t be a “friend” if you weren’t but to be stressed out to where it is actually affecting your life is absolutely not healthy! And who, how and what is that helping? You are honestly doing more harm than good at that point. If you can’t put and/or keep your head on straight and try to find a solution or maybe just some encouraging words; then just give it to GOD and keep it moving. I know sometimes as friends or loved ones we want to be a hero. We want to be able to come to the rescue when someone comes to us with a problem however sometimes just being there, listening, lending a shoulder is all that we can do. It’s called the transference of energy. Have you ever had one of your friends tell you about a problem they were having with their significant other and then you go home and for no apparent reason, you and your other half now have a whole problem out of seemingly nowhere? You can’t seem to figure out what happened or where it came from? That energy was transferred from your friend to you. It’s very true and very powerful. I can almost guarantee that your friend went home and made up with their partner and you and yours are side-eyeing each other. Good job, you’ve done your duty as a friend but how do you feel? You do NOT have to hold onto it. The moment that you receive it, give it up! Give it to GOD, pass that energy along to someone who can handle it because it is not yours to fight!
I told my co-worker not to let anyone else have that much power over his life because stress can and will kill you without notice. He looked at me and said, “Yeah, you’re right but is it really that easy? Can you just turn it off just like that?” I said, “Absolutely not! But nothing WORTH doing is ever going to be easy but your life has got to be worth it. Otherwise, why are you sitting here talking to me about it?” He paused for a brief moment and said,
“Thank You”
“Anytime”
