Let go of energy-consuming relationships with people who are not in your tribe.

~ Chapter 6 ~

To discover who is not in your tribe, pay attention to your feelings. Who do you smile at when you see them? Who feels uncomfortable to be around? Your subtle fight or flight mechanism is always at work. It doesn’t matter what you have said or felt in the past. When you realize you are putting yourself around people to whom you don't relate, let the relationship go. Either tell the person directly that you don’t want to spend as much time with them anymore, or let it naturally drift away. A connection with someone outside of your tribe will usually fade away naturally when you stop putting energy into it. Don’t get overly caught up in the grief of letting go of these connections. In the long run it is the best thing you can do for the other person as well as your personal happiness. Both of you can take your lessons and move forward. There is no need for anger. Keep a peaceful, forgiving mind as you sort out who is in your tribe.
