One can effectively divert time and energy away from negative relationships by focusing on their inner circle. This means prioritizing relationships that are positive, supportive, and beneficial to their well-being. It's important to recognize the signs of a negative relationship and take steps to distance oneself from it. This could involve setting boundaries, spending less time with the person, or in some cases, ending the relationship altogether. It's also beneficial to invest time and energy into personal growth and self-care, as this can help to build resilience and reduce the impact of negative relationships.

Question was asked on:

The way a person shapes their life comes down to their everyday choices. But when faced with these choices, many people will get sucked into situations they do not want to be a part of. This can cause them to neglect their well-being. But if they want to get the most out of their lives, choosing life is the way to go. Choosing life means avoiding things that might cause death, like smoking and eating bad foods, but it also means getting rid of negative and abusive people. Everyone has people in their lives who drain their energy and cause bad emotions like fear or guilt. Instead of wasting time on these relationships, this time and energy should be diverted towards the "inner circle".
