#1: Mind Your Own Business
Life feeling out of control? Overwhelmed? Too many things left undone?
Unfortunately, those are some pretty common feelings for women today. It does not matter if you are a stay at home mom, a full-time working mom, PTA president, a business owner, or a newly married woman. We all have felt this very same way.
So, what do we do?
We can first start by simplifying our lives. Oh great, what does that even mean? We have all heard that buzz word a million times. You need actual tips, not just slogans, right?
Here we go… actual tip #1: Mind Your Own Business
Warning: Stop reading if you can easily be offended.
Easy enough right? Wrong!
It is very easy to get caught up in other people’s business and in other people’s drama. People will also intentionally try to suck you into their drama and just dump their mess all over you.
It took me a while to really learn this tip because I used to love giving other people advice. Have you ever listened to a conversation or problem and you are dying inside just wanting to jump in and give your opinion? Have you ever interrupted the conversation to lend your wise advice?
STOP! We don’t need to solve everyone else’s problems (unless you are a licensed therapist!!). We just need to worry about what we have influence over – our own lives, our own feelings, our own reactions, our own potential, and our own dreams.
Look in the mirror – That’s whose business you need to mind… YOUR OWN! It’s that simple.
