#24 - How To Stop Taking Things Personally

Imagine how different life would be if it wasn’t possible to take things personally.  Your mother-in-law’s comments about your house wouldn’t affect you, your co-workers not mentioning they were going out for drinks wouldn’t be an issue and your child’s teacher sending home a note encouraging parents to send healthier snacks into school wouldn’t be a personal attack.

It would be great if you could take a sip of some magic potion and not react to people’s words and actions in a self-deprecating way.  You could go through life knowing that other people’s opinions are interesting but cannot affect you.

This week I’m going to discuss other people’s opinions, being a juicy peach (you’ll understand in a minute) and how to stop taking things personally.
