Want to be happier? Stop doing this one thing.

I've tried to impress people that will never be impressed or they will always find fault no matter what

Let them & more importantly let myself focus on my own life!

"Let them." This is great to listen to today, as I've been doing much the same thing by "decentering" others from my life. The only person I'm concerned with pleasing anymore is myself. As for others, let them please themselves.

See myself as the people pleaser of others but unable to please myself 😮 Going to order book and also audio as I like to make notes and other times I just wa t to listen. Listening to 5 second rules and all I can say is Thank You for teaching us to be ourselves ❤❤

I thought the answer was quit going to work! Just to let you know, the older you get, the less you will care!!! Perk

Mel you are a brilliant woman! So thankful for your work. Love you!

Yes I thought negative opinions about my parents and still loved them — however, in my own view, my kids are terribly disrespectful.

I LOVE the podcast and will get the book.❤ I've heard that, paradoxically,, when you care less about what people think, they secretly admire you and they also respect you more, but that doesn't matter anymore.😉

Let them also means allowing others to reap the consequences of their poor decisions and not allowing yourself into being pressured or guilted into fixing things for them.

My ex girlfriend after I messed up big time and that was the last straw for our relationship, we both messed up in big ways but I over stepped and she walked away for good, so that's someone I really highly valued their opinion of me, but now that they are no longer in my life, I need only seek my own love and my own thoughts of myself and the people who are in my life who are positive. But I allow people to have their opinions, thoughts and whims about me even if they don't like me, and I messed up or they messed up the relationship and are upset with me. I let them and I let me be free in doing that ❤
