Avoid or confront

It's OK to do either as long as it is for healthy reasons and they are done with a lot of thought as to the consequenses.  Sometimes we avoid to keep from hurting others or ourselves.  Sometimes we do it to be deceptive.  When we confront we should do it from a respectful point of view and with the idea of helping others.

Mental Toxins

Mental toxins are the negative words we use about ourselves. Whether we speak them out loud or think them in our head they do nothing to boost our self image. Take words like: "How could I be so stupid, " or "I'm not good at..." or even, "I'm a failure." - these do nothing good for us. As a matter of fact, they have a negative effect. Just like you need to put good food in your body to be healthy, you need to put good words in your head to have mental health!
