Letting Go of What Other People Think

I have no idea who said or wrote this quote, but I love it.

Your opinion of me is none of my business.

It’s my mantra when I’m trying to extricate myself from doing *something* in the world in order to earn my gold star or avoid judgement. It’s my mantra when I let fear of how *something* will land stop me from trying it out. It’s my mantra when I find myself chasing external validation in the form of likes or registrations or appreciative glances.

*Those somethings can be anything! A business idea, a change in my appearance, an offer of help, a conversation with a stranger, a swallowed moment of truth…

I made you a video sharing some of my best tips for learning how to let go of what other people think, as well as sharing my own story learning how to let go in the realms of business + mamahood.

Crib Sheet of Tips:

Really understand the quote, “Your opinion of me is none of my business!” Let it help you pull your focus back to your own life, your own lens, your own experience.
The way to be true to yourself and do the things you want to do in the world is to harness your own power. Don’t worry about pleasing or disappointing another, but absolutely do worry about pleasing or disappointing yourself.
Getting clear on who your “other people” actually are can be useful in letting “their opinions” go.
No one cares about your life nearly as much as you think they do. And no one cares about your life the way that you should care about your life.
Stand up for your dreams, your integrity, your desires. You don’t need to be fearless to do this work, just courageous.

It may seem impossible or scary to believe that you have the power to create a world where YOU DO YOU. Claiming your power in this realm allows you to live in alignment with your highest held values. It allows you experience joy in all forms.
