GAME-CHANGER:
Before you react, pause and play out the possible consequences of your immediate reaction, in your head. If you’re about to harm somebody, or act in a way that isn’t really you, or in line with your core values, respond in a way that’s more appropriate.
Some people are negative about others because they need to make themselves feel like they’re in control to cover up their own insecurities. Take heart knowing that it’s not about you but them. This could help you detach from their comments & not to feel hurt by what’s being said!
If you have to stay lowkey around your friends because they get jealous of your progress, you might be around the wrong "friends." Find a balance between accepting people for who they are and accepting that you deserve to be around those who support you.
We spend so much time living inside of our heads that we need to:
a) Make sure it's a nice environment when we're there.
b) Spend more time being present in the here and now.
Otherwise, you will continue to allow anxiety to rule you and troubling thoughts to dampen your mood.
Be so invested in personal development and growth that you have no time for drama, gossip, hate and any habits that aren't taking you forward towards greatness.
