4 Resons to Drop a Friend IMMEDIATELY

 As I get older, I make less time for my friends.  I don't need to go out with the gals every month, I don't need to check in with them or have them check in with me for updates.  Does this mean that I value friends less?  On the contrary.  I place more value on the ones that meet my criteria.    

 I've learned to seek low maintenance friendships.  I've also learned the skill of dropping a friend in a second if she becomes too high maintenance.  I I seek friends that are in similar places in life as I.  My friends don't require a lot of attention and they know I do not either.  But we both know all is full of LOVE. 

A friendship isn't about the obligatory check-in once a month.  It's about being there for them in their time of need, even when it's not convenient.

Even from High School, I didn't tolerate drama. I am friends with a lot of wonderful women and upholding this philosophy has allowed me to attract great women into my life who uplift me and allow me to up lift them.  Not the ones that drag me down and feel they have to check in on me because it's their duty as a friend.  

I take this same thought into my online fitness family.  I've created a team of other fit enthusiast called Alpha Tribe.  We support each other in our fitness journey even when It's not convenient but we don't drag each other along.  We lead and uplift each other.  Our community is open to other women who love fitness but also love their family.  We welcome women to who seek support in their journey, women who want to make money helping other and women who desire to bring out their inner bad ass.  

Life is too short to spend with the people you kinda-like.  

Here are 5 Ways to quickly spot a High Maintenance friendship.

1.  They are constantly asking you to hang out

2.  They ask you if another one of your friends has said something about them.

3.  The moment you realize they are a taker.  In any relationship you must give and take

4.  If you have ever had to say the words, 'She flipped out' to your partner.  RUN!

My Dad taught me to release drama from my life and keep things fun and simple.  He used to tell me this all the time when I was having 'friend drama'.  He would start out really firm and serious but by the time he was done, we giggled and I felt so much better!
