Taking things personally can really mess with your emotions. When someone criticises or snaps at you, it might feel like a personal attack, but it's usually more about their own stress.

This episode dives deep into how to stop letting others' words control your feelings. Listeners will learn practical strategies for handling criticism, staying calm, and asking questions to connect instead of react.

By shifting your mindset, you can reduce stress and improve your relationships, all while taking back control over your emotions.

Key Takeaways:

• Most criticism directed at you is often a reflection of the other person's issues.
• When faced with criticism, pause and ask if there's something to learn from it.
• Your emotional reactions can take away your power; control how you respond instead.
• Asking questions can turn potential conflicts into opportunities for better understanding.
• Taking things personally leads to unnecessary stress; shift your mindset to improve relationships.
