Here it is again: Don't Take IT Personally! When someone is telling you something, no matter the relationship dynamic (work, family, friend), our first inclination is to take it personally and make what they're saying all about us and how it impacts our feelings. Think about it....it's true, if you're honest. Think about this: When you speak aren't you wanting the other(s) to hear what you're sharing with them? Wouldn't you be annoyed if your feelings were not heard as being about you? Why then are you making someone else's feelings that they are sharing about you? Let's try an exercise in listening to what another person is saying rather than making everything so personal and about ourselves. Know who you are, work through your stuff, so when you interact with others....You are legit in your interaction!
