I’m easily distracted by other people’s negative thoughts and opinions. The following quote reminded me to stop doing this.
“I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet.” Mahatma Gandi
Do you let this happen to you? I’m interested in any thoughts or comments that you have.

Join my community, and get my free e-book and monthly newsletters, 17 Powerful Tips To Help You Thrive As A Highly Sensitive Person. I have an archive of my previous newsletters. Some topics include: Are you a magnet for toxic people?… Do you give up too easily?… Would you rather be perfect or productive?… and much more!
A thousand times, yes!
I have someone close to me who goes on negative rants about a few things, and I find myself listening without commenting even if I disagree. Other times, to end the conversation I want no part of, I will agree and then not say anything more. Both are defense mechanisms.
Good for you Karen! I’ll remember your wise advice!!
