Imagine how different life would be if it wasn't possible to take things personally. Your mother-in-law's comments about your house wouldn't affect you, your co-workers not mentioning they were going out for drinks wouldn't be an issue and your child's teacher sending home a note encouraging parents to send healthier snacks into school wouldn't be a personal attack.
It would be great if you could take a sip of some magic potion and not react to people's words and actions in a self-deprecating way. You could go through life knowing that other people's opinions are interesting but cannot affect you.
This week I'm going to discuss other people's opinions, being a juicy peach (you'll understand in a minute) and how to stop taking things personally.
