People often take others' words as a representation of their true feelings. And there's a good reason for this -- Unlike our thoughts and beliefs, which are often just internal monologues, it's very easy to pick up on the subtle signs people give off about how they feel about you. Their tone of voice changes; they get an uncomfortable look on their face; or change their body language.
\nBut there is a thin line when it comes to the toxicity of fear and people's concern, and you need to respond to them only after careful thought. In this episode, I share how I learned that there is a significant difference between being kind and being nice, and I chose kind. I also share with you why, sometimes, it is essential that you cut off certain relationships to keep yourself sane.
\nWe'll learn:
\n\u25cf Blocking others' toxicity from entering our lives. From the ages of one to seven, we're totally open to everything. You may still be experiencing some things in your adult life based on what they said. It is important to clear your mind from those thoughts.
\n\u25cf Fear is toxic. Sometimes, when people talk to you, they might be talking out of their fear and self-judgment. They're looking at it from their vantage point.
\n\u25cf There is a difference between being responsive and reactive. While a reactive individual makes snap judgments, a responsive individual considers the whole picture before making a judgment.
\n\u25cf Sometimes, it is essential to let people go. They might have been there only for a particular point in your life.
\n\u25cf There is a difference between being nice and being kind. On tough calling, I chose to be kind, and I tell you why.
