How To Stop Caring About What Other People Think In today's episode, I'm talking about something that affects all of us: caring too much about what other people think. We're going to explore how to shed that unnecessary burden and reclaim our inner peace. Before we dive in, let much just say that our goal isn't to completely stop caring about what others think. That's nearly impossible. Instead, we're aiming to care a little less, lighten the load, and focus on what truly matters. Here's a sneak peek of the three-step approach you can take when you catch yourself worrying about what people think: Identify the Thought: Pinpoint the exact thought that's causing you worry and angst. Challenge the Thought: Question its validity, usefulness, and whether it serves any positive purpose. Reframe the Thought: Shift your focus to what you can control and affirm your worth and decisions. As you apply this approach, you'll start to feel lighter, more confident, and less burdened by others' opinions. It's not about living in a bubble and ignoring feedback; it's about finding a healthy balance.
