How To Stop Caring What Other People Think
How to stop caring about what other people think is the topic I’d like to focus on today. We spend so much of our lives worrying about what other people will think of us. Our kids misbehave, and we worry that others will view us as a “bad” mom. We skip a social event and we assume that people will think we are rude. When we say what’s on our minds, we are convinced we have offended. We tell someone no and then we feel like we need to give a reason and a justification. The list goes on and on and on. When we learn to stop caring what other people think, we will find empowerment. We gain the confidence to become who we want to be.
How To Stop Caring About What Other People Think
I think to a certain degree we all care what people think of us. If we didn’t we probably wouldn’t go to extreme lengths to look thinner, smarter, or younger, right? But when it can hinder our progression, hold us back, or takes control of us, that is when it becomes an issue. That is when something needs to be done.
One of my favorite analogies is called “A Peach is A Peach.” It goes like this: You could be the sweetest, juiciest, tastiest, prettiest peach, but some people just don’t like peaches and you know what? That’s okay. If someone told us they didn’t like peaches would we constantly try to convince them that peaches are good? Would we coerce them into adding sugar or whip cream and try again? Probably not, but we do that with ourselves!
You Won't Please Everyone And That is Okay
Do we often act in a way that we think will please or impress other people? We do this in an effort to convince them what to think. We are seeking constant approval in our words and actions. The truth is some people just don’t like or agree with us. That is okay. I could speak to a group of 100 women, fifty of them could agree with what I said and fifty of them could disagree. I know that I have no control over other people’s thoughts no matter what I do or say. None.
Have you ever bent over backwards to try to please a client or friend. You may have compromised your boundaries, spent endless hours working on a project, extended your budget or time to still received unwanted criticism?
How To Stop Caring What Other People Think
I am uncertain if it my age, my energy level, the skills I have gained, or a combination of all of those things, but I have learned many skills that have helped me learn to stop caring what other people think.
You can gain the right tools to help you learn to believe and accept that you have no control over what other people think. Don’t get me wrong, it takes practice—LOTS of practice—but once you can accomplish this you will gain unbelievable freedom.
You do this by learning.You will build confidence you didn’t know existed. You will become the truest, most authentic version of yourself. As this happens you will start to live a life that allows you to be and do things that will best serve you. Your relationships will become deeper and more meaningful. You will be a better mother, wife, sister, or businesses woman and begin to spread your wings and accomplish your goals.
