Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
This week's theme for the podcast is: Let's Quit Together
This week I want to talk to you about how we can stop engaging in behaviors that aren't helping us become our best selves.
Making the decision to quit doing things like gossiping, saying sorry all the time or sacrificing sleep will help us focus more on what is actually important in our lives, lean more towards the positive & become our best selves.
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- Gossiping is terrible. It’s something we can all get so easily sucked into, but it’s a terrible habit too many of us engage in. There really isn't an excuse for sharing information that isn’t yours to share.
- Gossip can be seen as idle talk, rumors & sharing personal details or information about others behind their backs & generally in a negative tone. And some would argue that sharing this type of information with others is important because they need others to know or they want to slander this person on person to make themself look good or the other person look bad.
- There is a very thin line between needing to share information about someone that could be important or necessary & sharing personal details about someone just to have something to share that could bring you attention. There is also an aspect of thrill in telling someone something you know you shouldn’t.
- One of the reasons gossip is so prevalent is because of the way it creates a social bond. You can become accepted & even trusted when you start sharing information to others that find that info important & intriguing. This is especially true if the desire to gossip goes both ways on the same subject. It’s been studied that sharing negatives will grow groups of people together stronger than positives.
- I also want to point out that we should all be careful about who we are sharing with, as you may be venting to someone to get your own personal grievances out, but make sure that person doesn’t go running their mouth to someone else.
- So let’s chat about some suggestions for how to stop gossiping:
- 1. Ask yourself if this information is yours to share.
- 2. Ask yourself if this information really needs to be repeated.
- 3. Have one person you dump gossip to so you aren’t spreading it & they can encourage you to cut back.
- 4. Try to catch yourself when you’re about to make a comment about someone.
- 5. Stop judging others & say no when others try to drag you into their gossip.
- 6. Try to go one day without gossiping if you find yourself gossiping too much.
Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!
