Are you always blaming yourself when other people don’t treat you well? Are you sensitive to what others think
of you? Do you get emotional and defensive to any form of criticism? These can be signs that you take things too
personally, which can take a huge mental and emotional toll on you.
If you tend to take things personally when they are not personal, it is because something has hit a nerve.
I used to get very upset when my best friend didn’t return my call. Even though I didn’t have important things to talk
about, I couldn’t help but get hurt. Rather than trying to see what’s really happening with her, I’d jump to the
conclusion that she just didn’t care.
Unnecessary drama followed!
In this episode, I’m sharing my mantra. I’m sharing my heart out and offering tips on toI reframe your reactions and how to
overcome this terrible, emotionally draining habit that hurts us more than a few times. I needed to break some
communication barriers within myself to become the version of me now!
Not taking things personally gives you more control over how you respond, your emotions, and your energy level. So
hear this episode and learn to build healthy defense mechanisms, such as setting boundaries and practicing pausing
techniques.
