How to manage close relationships unsupportive of your transformation.

When you are changing your inner world and your friends or family don't understand. 


It can be difficult to talk to friends and family who are not supportive of changes you are making, but there are a few strategies you can try to communicate effectively to maintain a positive relationship:


  • Listen to their concerns: It's important to understand where your friends and relatives are coming from and what their concerns are. Try to listen without judgment and try to see things from their perspective.


  • Explain your motivations: Help your friends and relatives understand why you have chosen to pursue spiritual growth and make changes in your life. Share your reasons and motivations with them, and try to be open and honest about your experiences.


  • Respect their beliefs: It's okay if your friends and relatives have different beliefs than you. It's important to respect their beliefs and not try to force your beliefs on them.


  • Find common ground: Even if you have different beliefs, you can still find common ground and ways to connect with each other. Try to focus on the things you have in common and the positive aspects of your relationship.


  • Seek support elsewhere: If your friends and relatives are not supportive of your transformation, it can be helpful to seek support from other sources, such as a community or group on social media.


In my personal experience, I've discovered that the most effective approach to initiate profound inner transformations is to keep them to myself and await the moment when friends and family start noticing the changes. When they inevitably inquire, "What have you been doing?" it's typically because they've observed positive changes and are eager to learn how they can also enhance their own well-being or appearance.


Remember that you don't have to agree on everything to maintain a positive relationship with your friends and relatives. It's important to be open, honest, and respectful in your communication, and to try to find ways to connect and support each other.  Most importantly, stay true to the pathway you are on.  Always speak your truth and keep your heart open.


Good luck
