Time to….
Difficult people are here to stay. In fact, learning to deal with them allows us to have thicker skin as Entrepreneurs.
You have probably had that one person that is void of reason and no matter how you look at the situation, it just causes you to say “Can’t reason with crazy”… and my dear, you are right. Sort of.
I don’t know what this says about me, but I have dealt with my fair share of them. (and yes, trust me I do inner work to look at this phenomenal re-accordance in my life!)
After years of abuse from an old manager, and the occasional Void-of-Reason characters in my life, I have come up with a sort of Sanity Manifesto to deal with difficult people. Here it goes….
Sanity Manifesto
* Don’t try to convince anyone
* When appropriate stand your ground
* Take in the Truth of Crazy, and look within. There’s always some truth they speak… but not all is true.
* Ask what it is in me that is bringing this to be real
* It is a trigger. Ultimately it is not about having a fight, it is about acknowledging the trigger & what it brings up
* Learn to be present to all that you feel and most importantly, after that… let it go
* Focus on your Genius & the shit you have to get done.
* The world needs you on your game, so go through the process as succinctly as possible.
* Love them. Even in their crazy.
* Love yourself (and maybe even forgive)
I always advice to pay attention to what comes up for each of us, but not to go into suffering by obsessing, over thinking, or over talking. It’s hard because sometimes we need space to process. So, process. Then, let it go. And keep the focus on what you good, positive, and the expansive contribution you have to offer the planet.
I hope this was helpful to you this week!
Love,
ASHA
