Is this really possible? I wonder. The Dalai Lama repeats this advice to us over and over as a powerful reminder that we allow people to suck away our energy far too often. By giving someone else the power over the way you feel about yourself, you are letting go of the wheel of your well-being. Walk away if possible and if required: If anything disturbs your inner peace, remember it is not worth spending time on. If staying around negative people can be avoided, do it. Exit and don't look back. You don't need to prove your strength to anyone but battling the bullies everyday. Expert’s advice to Use mindfulness tools, rather than automatically reacting, we can learn to choose a meaningful response. Since this is very difficult in the moment, the first step in mindfulness is often to simply STOP and take a pause before reacting. This may be a few moments or a few days if needed. Focus on your own personal growth and let go of those who hold you back. Stop allowing people to rob you of your peace of mind. Set boundaries and surround yourself with positivity to protect your mental and emotional well-being. Finding inner peace is more challenging with our busy schedule, hectic lifestyle, and everyday stressors, but it's completely possible with an initial little step like setting a limit. A limit is a guide to your response to someone else's behavior. You can't control someone else, but you can decide what you are willing to do, what you're not willing to do, or what you are willing to put up with from someone else before you remove yourself. So do focus on these points to be at peace by not allowing others to disturb us. Good luck
