If you ever feel frustrated, stressed, sad, furious, or disappointed by someone’s actions, before you start explaining things to them until you’re blue in the face (and they’re half asleep)… just stop.

Say to yourself: “Let them.”

Acknowledge your lack of control. You cannot change another human being. Whatever they do, say, or believe – brilliant or absurd – it’s their decision. And most of the time, you have exactly zero influence over it. Accept it. Let them.

And then… shift to “Let me.”
👉 Let me focus on my own actions, my choices, my energy.
👉 Let me stop worrying about opinions that don’t matter.
👉 Let me live my life instead of trying to manage someone else’s.

This doesn’t mean ignoring the world around us. It means realizing we are not responsible for everyone in it. If person X doesn’t believe in you – that’s their right. Let them. If they want to make mistakes – fine, they’re collecting their own set of lessons.

Don’t give them the power to decide how you feel‼️

Because the moment you allow others to live their lives, you can finally start living yours.

📚Recommended reading: Mel Robbins ’ “The Let Them Theory.”

My friend Dita Sudova suggested it, I ignored it for months (classic me 🙃), and then the book cover winked at me from a bookstore shelf. I devoured it in just a few days. (Thank you, Dita Sudova 🫶)

📘It makes sense. It’s liberating. It’s worth it.
And if you decide not to read it – guess what? Let them. 😉

P.S. One tiny thing that bugged me: every time Robbins mentions “world-class experts,” she only quotes Americans. But you know what? … Let them🤦🏻‍♀️🙃
