Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 193
Title: One Mantra That Will Stop You From Taking Things Personally
Each day comes with its
own load of toxicity, whether in situations or at occasions or in persons even
those very close to us.
And because most of us are
hard wired to be dependent on other people's opinions of us, we tend to take
things personally even when the intention is not to insult, assault or hurt us.
People are toxic to be
around when they believe that everything happening around them is a direct
assault on them or is in some way all about them.
That is the truth. Let it sink in.
What people say and do to you is much more about them, than you.
Whether people think you’re amazing, or believe you’re the worst, again, is more about them and how they view the world.
Now, I’m not suggesting we should be self-indulged narcissists and ignore all the opinions and commentary we receive from others.
In most cases it’s far more productive and healthy to let go of other people’s good or bad opinions of you, and to operate with your own intuition and wisdom as your guide.
The underlying key is to...
Watch Your Response
That is the MANTRA that will save you from taking to mind whatever anyone else does to you or says about you.
Still others start to feel sorry for themselves… and victimized… and leave thinking: “Why can’t other people behave better?”
Responses like these are not healthy or helpful.
And you’re not alone. We all make this mistake sometimes.
If someone does something we disagree with, we tend to interpret this as a personal attack...
Some people even think life itself is personally against them. But the truth is, almost nothing in life is personal – things happen, or they don’t, and it’s rarely all about anyone specifically.
People have emotional issues they’re dealing with, and it makes them defiant, rude, and thoughtless sometimes.
In any case, you can learn not to interpret their behaviors as personal attacks, and instead see them as non-personal encounters (like a dog barking in the distance, or a bumblebee buzzing by) that you can either respond to with a peaceful mindset, or not respond to at all.
Here’s what you need to remember and repeat to yourself…
You may not be able control all the things people say and do to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
Yes, there is an incredible amount of freedom that comes to you when you detach from other people’s behaviors.
The way people treat you is their problem, how you react is yours.
When you THINK BETTER, you LIVE BETTER!
Truth be told, that’s exactly why those who have realized that life is too short to be concerned about things that do not add value to living it have made the decision to take things as they come. Nothing too personal except of course it is very personal

People’s reactions to you
are about their perspectives, wounds and experiences.
I’m simply saying that
incredible amounts of hurt, disappointment and sadness in our lives come
directly from our tendency to take things personally.
When something stressful
happens in a social situation, what is your response?
Some people jump right
into action – but oftentimes immediate action can be harmful.
Others get angry, or sad.
In fact, whenever your
response lacks a mindful level of acceptance you’re likely taking things too
personally.
Our children don’t clean
their rooms? They are purposely defying us!
Our significant other
doesn’t show affection? They must not care about us as much as they should!
Our coworkers act
inconsiderately at work? They must hate us!
Someone hurts us? Everyone
must be out to get us!
They are doing the best
they can, or they’re not even aware of their issues.
You too can decide to ride
high emotionally over and above all those who you think hold one thing or the
other against you.
Just remember, it is not
about you, it's all about them
