Ask yourself what the motivation of the source might be, how the source might benefit from you thinking, believing, or acting in a particular way, and whether you truly align with what is being presented to you. Engaging in this practice can help you to spot when you might be compromising or allowing social conditioning to take effect in your life.
Avoid Toxic Sources When you have identified a person or a source that is toxic and has a negative influence on you it is best to avoid or at least limit its presence in your life. This helps to ensure that you are not overexposed to influences that may cause you to stray away from what is truly significant and meaningful to you.
