Are You Becoming Toxic? Ways to Change Your Toxic Behavior This Coming New Year

Last week’s episode talked about the signs to look out for and how to deal with toxic people in every area of our lives. Today we will try to look on ourselves, are we becoming toxic? This episode is very confronting because we will talk about toxicity within ourselves.

Of course, there's a difference between being toxic and acting toxic. The first is when it's ingrained in our personality, and we actively enjoy hurting others; the second corresponds to aspects of our behaviors. Sometimes without knowing it, these toxic behaviors can take us over. Think about it as a muscle into which you're unknowingly pumping metaphorical steroids, and soon it looks like The Hulk.

The good news is, with a little self-reflection and asking for feedback from others, we can become aware of these habits and eradicate them so we can become better people. Here are a few of the most common behaviors that even good people can develop that might actually be hurting those around them—as well as how to change course for the better.
