Dealing with People

When we interact with people that say mean or rude things to us, there are 2 ways we can handle it.

Either it just doesn't affect us, essentially bounces right off of us, or we allow it to affect us. It infiltrates us. We believe the mean words or feel we deserve to be treated this way.

What if people's words didn't affect you? What if they just bounced off?

The first thing you'd notice is that they say rude or mean things way less often or not at all...why? Because they didn't have the affect on you.

Secondly, if they do say rude or mean things, it doesn't affect you.

The secret to this place of not being affected is how you think and feel about yourself. Exploring and discovering and connecting to your true self. And believing that you don't deserve to be treated this way. You stay true to your self-love, self-confidence, self-concept.

Notice how you talk to yourself during the day. When we are used to ourselves talking down to us, we allow it from others as well. We have to catch this self-dialogue and change what we are saying. This might not be easy, to swing from negative to positive, so look for neutral. What is a neutral thought you could think instead.

You get to just decide you're not talking down to yourself ever again. That's a choice we get to make.

Get curious about the experience you have with the people around you. Notice how they treat you and how it affects you.

What if other people's words didn't affect you at all? It's possible with just a simple mindset shift and it's easier than you think!
