How to deal with Ankle Biters
I choose to live my life with a belief and a mindset that everyone is filled with greatness. We were all born to shine and contribute our unique gifts to the world. No one is better than anyone else just like no one is worse than anyone else. We are all born with a blank canvass of possibilities. We have all been given the miraculous gift of life and the ability to choose what we fill our black board with. We all have the same brushes and we can all choose to define ourselves and the bigger picture of our lives. We can all choose to defy gravity by creating ourselves or we can choose to be held down. We have the choice to live with greater purpose and meaning or suppress our passion. We can choose to let in the light or remain in the shadows. I choose to soar to the stars, to taste my one precious life and to love unconditionally. I choose to selflessly pour myself into others, inspiring them to do the same.
As you strive to break through the atmosphere and the temporary barriers that are holding you back, you will need to cultivate a new mindset - disciplining your disappointment and dealing with the ankle biters that want to keep you down. Recognize that their energy and lack of control is not yours. You only have the ability to control how you respond. During those tough moments, ask yourself: "What do I know for certain about this moment?" The following tips will help you regain and remain in control of your responses:
My TOP 10 TIPS for responding to Ankle Biters:
1. Shift someone's anger and whining by asking them what they are most grateful for today.
2. Avoid negative people at all costs - they are like energy vampires that want to feed off of you.
3. Don't respond to a negative post or email you are only giving away your energy.
4. Avoid looking for what isn't there...replace it with higher levels of gratitude for what is!
5. Replace a negative comment with 5 positive comments, it will shift the energy of the outcomes.
6. Avoid wasting energy in trying to control other people, instead create a new perspective about them.
7. Listen with the intent to understand rather than the compulsion of replying.
8. Instead of listening to them complain, redirect the conversation to a positive outlook for the day.
9. Think about the tone and expression of your response/message before you deliver it.
10. You don't need to be right, you just need to protect your energy by staying in control of your response.
