How to not take things personally

It’s a super interesting time to be human. We’re navigating so many diverse opinions, information, and emotions within our sphere of influence. What is factual? What is something to pay attention to? What is conspiracy theory?

It’s a lot to investigate and digest. And everyone has their own ideas about everything based on their perception created by their life experiences. Add a super charged election to the emotional field and we can find ourselves in heated conflicts.

So how does a person handle all this? How do you stay sane enough to process your thoughts and feelings without buying into the drama of someone else’s? How can you share your thoughts in a conversation and not feel attacked if someone disagrees with your viewpoint? What do you do if someone gets nasty with you verbally? How do you stay present and not grow the situation?

Remember this: It takes two to fight and one to end it. In any situation, you have the choice to react or respond. If you hear someone say, “You,” know you’re going to be dumped on. Say to yourself, “The longer they talk, the more relaxed I become.”

People are usually talking about themselves when dumping on you. Arguing with them won’t be helpful. Instead, take the you out of it, and substitute an “I” for what they say. Don’t deny someone else’s truth, but realize it doesn’t have anything to do with you. Then thank them for their opinion. The end.

You can be a victim, or choose your own identity.  And as always,  I’m available for private or group sessions if you need deeper understanding, support, or guidance through energy work or intuitive life coaching.
