Often I find myself in a position where someone is making me uncomfortable. I’ve learned NOT to engage and waste my energy in responding; however, I judge myself and feel less-than because I’m not defending myself.
What I’m learning to do is in the moment, when I remember, to say: “it’s my energy and I get to spend it the way I want to and you can keep your stink eye thinking and energy to yourself.” It’s silly, and distracts me from feeling small.
Another great thought is: “that’s interesting, next.”
Will you play with new mental dialoguing today as you interact with negative people?
