don't take things so personally ep.35

Alex Adams
About this episode
Do you analyze people's words or actions and make it about yourself? Unfortunately, people tend to harbour a lot of feelings such as resentment towards themselves when negative actions or words are said against them. It's almost natural to feel hurt based on what someone else does to you, and inevitably let it change the way you think about yourself. Today we talk about NOT taking other people's negative words or actions so personally, and trusting the story YOU built about yourself, rather than letting other people's opinions dictate it. I love you all, enjoy.
