“I don’t know how to make him happy. “I don't want her to cry.” “I need to make sure she understands.” “I don’t want them to feel disappointed.” “I want them to feel like I care.” What do each of these thoughts have in common? They have you trying to control how someone else feels, which is actually something that is never in your control. In today’s podcast I talk about why you should stop trying to make other people feel a certain way and why it's OK to let people feel any emotions (even the icky ones).
Topics in this episode:
- It’s not your job to make someone else happy or to save someone from a negative emotion
- Each person is responsible for their own emotion
- All emotions are useful, even the icky ones
- The impact of taking responsibility for your own emotions
- The perspective that shifted they way I viewed others emotions
- A simple evaluation tool to help you control what you can actually control and let go of how other people feel
