Do you feel like you're constantly drawing the wrong sorts of people? Toxic relationships are like cigarettes. People know they're bad, but they're unfortunately addictive.

1. Be in positive environments

A positive environment isn't difficult to determine. It's one that's inviting and makes you feel included. When we're surrounded by negativity, we can think the unpleasantness displayed by people is somehow normal. Think about whether or not the people around you are bringing positive or negative energy into your life.

2. Stop speaking negatively

People who are finding fault in everything aren't particularly pleasant to be around. If you and your friends are consistently remarking negatively, take a moment to assess why you feel this way. Strong relationships are about cherishing what's good in life, not decrying what could be better.

3. Support yourself

It's easier to be drawn into toxic relationships if you have a negative view of yourself. Make a point of building yourself up, not tearing yourself down. Take time every day to express gratitude for who you are and all that you contribute to the world.

4. Don't dwell

It can be tempting to stay in the past. While you can certainly learn some valuable lessons from past experiences, you need to stay in the present. If you are thinking about something that you can't change, remind yourself to focus on making your future better.

5. Believe in yourself

While it might sound corny, believing in yourself is crucial for bringing positivity into your life. If you're able to think highly of yourself and trust your judgments, there's hardly any limit to your potential.

6. Learn to say no

It might seem like saying "yes" to everything will make you more popular. After all, who doesn't want to be seen as agreeable? However, doing so can just make you a doormat for people who know how to take advantage. "No" is a short and simple response to avoid something that makes you uncomfortable, and you don't need to explain it.

7. Enjoy the moment

Don't wait for the good times. Let the good times reveal themselves whenever possible. People find themselves dissatisfied because they have a preconceived notion of what happiness is supposed to be. Happiness in life means finding splendor in the minutiae. When you're around positive people, you can learn to appreciate people for who they are.

8. Get rid of stress

Getting rid of stress might seem impossible, but it's way easier than letting stress continue. To eliminate a stressor, you need to do something about it. The first step won't necessarily solve it, but it will definitely help you to get on the right track. When you know how to stop stress early, you can draw in more positive people.

9. Practice mindfulness

To be mindful, you need to embrace the moment as it is. You don't need to love everything that happens, but you do need to try to see the good in any moment. By practicing mindfulness on a regular basis, you can be an absolute joy to be around.

10. Be happy with what you have

Don't be itching for material goods or a lifestyle that you don't have. Even if these are attainable, they're not going to give you any long-term satisfaction. To truly appreciate life and have strong relationships, you need to learn to appreciate what you have now. There's no sense in resenting your circumstances. Instead, you should learn to find the good in them. Otherwise, your life is just going to be unsatisfying.
