My head is killing me, my throat is killing me, my stomach bubbles with toxic waste. I just want to sleep. A coma would be nice. Or amnesia. Anything, just to get rid if this, these thoughts, whispers in my mind.
Laurie Halse Anderson (Speak)
You cannot sit back and wait to be happy and healthy and have a great thought life; you have to make the choice to make this happen. You have to choose to get rid of the toxic and get back in alignment with God. You can be overwhelmed by every small setback in life, or you can be energized by the possibilities they bring.
Caroline Leaf (Switch On Your Brain: The Key to Peak Happiness, Thinking, and Health (Includes the '21-Day Brain Detox Plan'))
Purposively whirling around, I glared at him. How dangerously handsome he is! How fiercely I hate him! How hopelessly I still love him. How badly I want to melt in his arms! How desperately I want to make him mine again! How strongly I want to get rid of his presence! I couldn’t see more of him and face nightmares for the rest of my life. His presence was toxic. Like bad toxic. Or a good toxic? I couldn’t differentiate. My head was spinning.
Pratibha Malav (If Tomorrow Comes (A Kind Of Commitment, #2))
The problem with small pressure vessels is CO2 toxicity. You can have all the oxygen in the world, but once the CO2 gets above 1 percent, you’ll start to get drowsy. At 2 percent, it’s like being drunk. At 5 percent, it’s hard to stay conscious. Eight percent will eventually kill you. Staying alive isn’t about oxygen, it’s about getting rid of CO2.
Andy Weir (The Martian)
You are free to the choice that you want, but you are not free from the consequences of that choice. That choice you make today may break or make your family in future.

Living your dreams, changing your behaviours and overcoming negative habits is challenging. However, when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

Love yourself too much to beg, hold yourself to higher standards than to chase, and value your worth too much to "wait" for someone to love you as you deserve to be loved.
Karlicia Lewis (Stop Saying Yes to Mr. No Good: Get Rid of Toxic Men Once and For All)

Itayi Garande (Broken Families: How to get rid of toxic people and live a purposeful life)
Sometimes loving from a distance is much better than trying to love up close. Love doesn't disappear when you leave a toxic or unhealthy relationship, you only begin to love yourself more....and self love enhances love for others..
Karlicia Lewis (Stop Saying Yes to Mr. No Good: Get Rid of Toxic Men Once and For All)
A newspaper article that I read recently concluded that people are dying because of what they are eating. This article was talking about diets. Some inner voice inside me said even more people are dying because of what is eating them – the toxic relationships that they are keeping and the family problems that they are not resolving.
Itayi Garande (Broken Families: How to get rid of toxic people and live a purposeful life)
We have to train our mind to see the good in everything, the positive. If you fight with a family member, there is something to learn from it, but you may have to find what it is that you have to learn from that experience. You have to exercise your mind to do that. As the thought energy flows into our mind, we decide what we are going to think.

One of the things that happens is that during sleep, your brain cleans itself of waste that has accumulated during the day. “During slow-wave sleep, your cerebral spinal fluid channels open up more and remove metabolic waste from your brain,” Roxanne explained to me. Every night, when you go to sleep, your brain is rinsed with a watery fluid. This cerebrospinal fluid washes through your brain, flushing out toxic proteins and carrying them down to your liver to get rid of them. “So when I’m talking to college students, I call this brain-cell poop. If you can’t focus well, it might be you have too much brain-cell poop circulating.” That can explain why, when you are tired, “you get a hung-over sort of feeling”—you are literally clogged up with toxins. This positive kind of brainwashing can only happen when you are asleep.
Johann Hari (Stolen Focus: Why You Can't Pay Attention—and How to Think Deeply Again)
You are on earth to express greatness in your form, not anyone else’s. You are born for a reason. You have to find out what that reason is. This is not easy because you have to dig deep into your mind and soul to know your true purpose. Sometimes that creates a misalignment with those you love

Many a person over the years has tried- both successfully and unsuccessfully, to get rid of their inner demons. Those who are successful are deemed artists, those who are not are call dreamers at best and lunatics at worse. But where exactly resides that line on which two worlds collide? Does somebody know? Is somebody fit to tell? Who's to say that those deemed lunatics are not just successes on the making? Who says that those who claim to be just a tad bit crazy are not just as crazy as those that had completely lost it? Maybe, and bear with me here…everyone is as crazy as the one before them and the next one could ever possibly be. Maybe at the end- it's just that some have mastered creating a façade of calmness and collection while others don't bother going through all that trouble anymore, if they ever did. Perhaps we all have demons…it's just that some people have demons far more toxic and difficult to ignore than others.

Do not be waylaid by a toxic family Whatsapp group. You fought hard to emerge as your own person in real life. Do not succumb to this new medium that replicates all the sad, toxic hierarchies of broken families. Walk out. Do it now.
Itayi Garande (Broken Families: How to get rid of toxic people and live a purposeful life)
HUMANS don’t generate toxic wastes—but our culture certainly does. HUMANS aren’t toxic to the face of the earth—but our culture certainly is. It’s vitally important for our children to know that the curse that needs to be lifted from the earth is not humanity. It’s important for them to know that we may be a doomed culture, but we are not a doomed species. It’s important for them to understand that it’s not being HUMAN that is destroying the world. It’s living this way that is destroying the world. It’s important for them to know that humans have lived other ways, because it’s important for them to know that it’s possible to live other ways. Otherwise they can only repeat the falsehood spoken by that waste disposal engineer, that the only way to stop poisoning the world is to get rid of humanity.
Daniel Quinn (The Invisibility of Success)
The number one skill we can ever acquire is the ability to use our mind to create possibilities for our lives, and to resolve problems. This is very important because without the control of our mind, we follow other people’s minds and actions, and not ours. Then we fall and we fail.
Itayi Garande (Broken Families: How to get rid of toxic people and live a purposeful life)
It’s awfully hard to be happy when you feel you’re not worthy enough for those feelings. You’ve been knocked down so many times happiness to you is an unnatural state of mind. Lose the fake smile, get up and get rid of the toxic reasons you’re unhappy, no matter, who, or what’s standing in your way. Time to get real!
Ron Baratono
When someone chooses to walk out of your life and be done with you, let them go. If they can walk away that easily were they ever worth sharing your life with in the first place? Begging is not an option, neither is chasing. Love yourself enough to embrace people that WANT to be in your life, not the ones looking for reasons to leave it.
Karlicia Lewis (Stop Saying Yes to Mr. No Good: Get Rid of Toxic Men Once and For All)
Everyone has a paradigm that defines his or her reality. This paradigm is created, largely, by society. So it is limited because it does not include our mind and soul’s desires.
Itayi Garande (Broken Families: How to get rid of toxic people and live a purposeful life)
The real measure of intelligence is action. Don’t wait because the time will never really be right. If you don’t start, you have already failed before you begin.

The trouble with many relationships is that people jump into them without first learning to love themselves in completion.

You create your life by the choices you make every single day. The difference between a great life and a mediocre one is based on how many choices you make every day that are deliberate.

If you cannot forgive others, you break the bridge over which you must pass yourself. Make sure you are always building bridges and not walls because those walls may be blocking your progress.

Toxic Masculinity, Violence against Women and Children, Racism, are all pernicious diseases prevalent in our world. Along with pandemics, we need to get rid of these vicious negativities as well. We have to make this World change for the better.
Avijeet Das
Dump the toxic people out of your life. Get them gone. Kick them to the curb. Stop maintaining relationships with people that make you feel guilty about things that you like, that make you feel shitty about yourself, that put you down, that don’t fucking support you, that are mean. You just get those people and shove them out of your life. Delete them off of Facebook, break it down easily. Just kind of fizzle out with the contact. Let it be like almost as if it might be growing apart. Just get rid of those people, because instead of just maintaining these “relationships” with people for the sake of just being polite or civil, you can be civil without having people that you can’t stand in your life and you’ll be so much happier. You need to stop maintaining relationships with toxic people because it’s just not good for you and it’s not worth any of your time.
Rachel Whitehurst
The mind is rich with possibilities for fulfilment, but you decide to dwell on the limited horizons and paradigms that you are used to, the societal imprint. You do not tap into exactly what your mind and your soul wants, so you live the life that is imposed on you, not the life that you are meant to live. You live the life of pleasing others, life of seeking acceptance not fulfilment.
Itayi Garande (Broken Families: How to get rid of toxic people and live a purposeful life)
Families are organisations just like any organisation. Families need to have goals too. Every member of this organisation must be able to contribute to the family’s benefit, not compete to the family’s detriment. When the family has unified goals in addition to each member’s personal objectives, family relationships are smoother. Goals promote unity and cooperation and help each member to enjoy the fruits of the whole family’s efforts.

Here they learn the rest of the lesson begun in those soft houses with porch swings and pots of bleeding heart: how to behave. The careful development of thrift, patience, high morals, and good manners. In short, how to get rid of the funkiness. The dreadful funkiness of passion, the funkiness of nature, the funkiness of the wide range of human emotions. Wherever it erupts, this Funk, they wipe it away; where it crusts, they dissolve it; wherever it drips, flowers, or clings, they find it and fight it until it dies. They fight this battle all the way to the grave. The laugh that is a little too loud; the enunciation a little too round; the gesture a little too generous. They hold their behind in for fear of a sway too free; when they wear lipstick, they never cover the entire mouth for fear of lips too thick, and they worry, worry, worry, about the edges of their hair.
Toni Morrison
motivation for not eating meat and dairy is to maintain optimal health, not to rid myself of the obsession and compulsion that are the hallmark of addiction. If obsession and compulsion are the issue—smoking cigarettes, not being able to stop texting your toxic ex, self-harm—and you want to get past it, you need a Bright Line. If health is your objective, there is no evidence that perfect is better than “really good.” Seriously. You can comply with a health goal 95 percent of the time, and it will benefit you as much as 100 percent perfection.
Susan Peirce Thompson (Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Happy, Thin and Free)
Barbie" Through my many and long travels I’ve come across many who read books On planes, buses, and on trains… Over the years, three titles caught my attention of books in the hands of women who either looked like or tried to look like the Barbie doll… I don’t remember the exact titles of these books, But I remember that one of them was something along the lines of “how keep your husband or preserve your marriage.” The other was something about “signs that he is cheating on you.” And the third was something on how to get rid of him and move on! It was as if these titles summarized the lifecycle of every woman who lets herself to play the role of a Barbie… And I often wondered if reading books on “How to stop playing the Barbie role” in love and life is not just enough to solve all the problems the other three books are claiming to address… [Original poem published in Arabic on May 16, 2024 at ahewar.org]

Get rid of toxic customers before they get rid of your business.
Mac Duke The Strategist
Oftentimes we try to change the world around us, our family members and our friends, while remaining the same. That is impossible. Sometimes we feel like we are making progress, expanding our horizons and our awareness, but with no real change in our lives.

Pride is a disease. It builds walls, not bridges and it destroys family ties and important relationships. Throughout my life, I have many examples of people building walls by their pride, their attitude, but very few examples of people building bridges.

Family time is not a matter of convenience; it is a matter of priority. Spend time with those you love because one of these days you will say one of the following two statements: “I wish I had” or “I’m glad I did”.

Making the decision to act is the most difficult part; the rest is just tenacity and perseverance. Fears are mere paper tigers. You can do absolutely anything that you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life.

A positive attitude is not just forcing a smile through gritted teeth in the hopes of feeling better. It is something a lot more profound than that. When we adopt a positive attitude, we are using the power of our mind to remove thoughts and ideas that are no longer helping us to develop.

A paradigm is your reality, but not the reality. Your paradigm determines your behaviour, your beliefs and your experience. Yet outside your present paradigm are rich gifts of possibilities to be explored. There are possibilities to be enjoyed and cherished. If you stay in your own paradigm, you do not enjoy these possibilities.

Prana Mudra The prana mudra is designed to help bring life force into the body and is connected to the Root Chakra like the earth mudra. Such energizing solutions for the Root Chakra are important because if the root is not healthy, none of the other chakras will function in good health. • Take both hands to face the palms. •       Curl each hand's ring finger and pink finger to touch the thumb tip of the same hand. • Keep the middle fingers and the pointer straight. • Perform this three times a day for fifteen minutes While you perform mudras, remember to breathe. Sometimes you'll focus on getting things right when you try a new pose, and you may hold your breath. Return your breath attention. Pause before moving on to your next appointment or activity after releasing the mudra to notice any effects. Over time, notice if your hands are more flexible, if the mudra has become effortless. As your hands ' flexibility increases, it reflects growing openness in your body and nature, allowing energy to flow more freely. Apana Mudra You must remove what you no longer want to bring with you as you clear your chakras: mentally, spiritually, and energetically. How much are you willing to release? You release when you breathe out, when you sweat, and when you go to the bathroom. These are indicators of how the body removes waste that you no longer want or need, including thoughts, food and energy. This phase can be supported by a hand mudra, the apana mudra: • Hold out your hands to face the palms. •       Curl each hand's ring finger and middle finger to meet the thumb of the same hand. • Hold this posture for 15 minutes, 3 times a day Use this mudra to help you get rid of toxicity and make room for new beginnings, new ideas and new projects. Imagine the purifying effects of prana entering your system with each inhalation. Know you're expelling what you don't need any more with each exhalation. This mudra is helpful together for all the chakras. It corresponds to disease or disease when any chakra is imbalanced. The apana mudra supports the proper functioning of all your energy centers by helping with physical, psychological, and energetic elimination of toxicity.

toxic. There are other potentially toxic elements, too, such as music, television, books, magazines, and the Internet. Each of these elements is nothing more than a vehicle carrying the toxic material just like a person can. Not all people are bad influences. Likewise, not all music is degrading. Not all television programs are amoral. And not all books, magazines, and Internet sites are trashy. Just as you would with people, you have to look for those things where your time is well-spent. Seek out that which uplifts and enlightens you. If it doesn’t, then, avoid it or get rid of it. If you keep putting garbage in, you’re going to keep getting garbage out. It’s that simple.
Gary W. Keith (Overcoming a Childhood of Abuse and Dysfunctional Living: How I Did It)

Our bodies have a mechanism to get rid of things that are toxic. Tears are how we purge toxins from the soul.
Jodi Payne (Just Dex (Les's Bar #1))
To put this into even simpler language, the mold toxin can enter a cell and set off a severe inflammatory process. Most people (75%) are not susceptible to this reaction because they are genetically blessed to be able to bind to and get rid of this toxin before it creates all of this damage. Unfortunately, 25% of the population cannot do so, and are predisposed to being affected by mold toxins and these are the patients who we see with mold toxicity. There is nothing psychological about this genetic predisposition to illness created by mold toxins, but because you can have one or two individuals at home, or in a workplace, profoundly affected by mold toxins, but others will be perfectly fine in the same environment, you can understand how the immediate (and incorrect) assumption that it must be something psychological.
Neil Nathan (Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment 2022)
Rather than getting rid of our fear, we can learn to face our fear, change our mindset about the fears, and address it in healthy ways.

Our bodies can do some pretty incredible things to protect us from feeling that pain. But the only way out of this cycle is by feeling the pain, and releasing it. Those old messages are not true, but they are very real and persistent. No amount of saving or being saved will get rid of them. You’re the only one who can save yourself.
Jackson MacKenzie (Whole Again: Healing Your Heart and Rediscovering Your True Self After Toxic Relationships and Emotional Abuse)
if you were never allowed to express anger in your family, your anger becomes an alienated part of yourself. You experience toxic shame when you feel angry. This part of you must be disowned or severed. There is no way to get rid of your emotional power of anger. Anger is self-preserving and self-protecting energy. Without this energy you become a doormat and a people-pleaser. As your feelings, needs and drives are bound by toxic shame, more and more of you is alienated.
John Bradshaw (Healing the Shame That Binds You)
Stop blaming yourself so much, I kept at you to get rid of him. Josh and Tate did the same. It’s not all your fault, Kady. We all contributed, though I don’t regret it, other than the part where you got hurt, because, Kady, Nico is no good for you. He’s toxic. He treats girls like shit, fucks them then moves on, not caring about all the hearts he’s breaking, like your heart. He truly doesn’t care. Do you really want that in your life?” I didn’t say no, although I mentally thought it. I knew I shouldn’t want Nico. There were too many negatives on paper when it came to him, with not enough positives to balance them out. But my torturous mind didn’t care what looked good on paper, all it cared about was what it wanted. And that was Nico
