Summary

Today’s episode is a game changer for your mental health and happiness.

It’s about not caring what other people think of you.

The judgment of others (or fear of judgment) stops so many of us from doing things that we want to do.

In this episode, Lindsay shares her journey to get to the point where she’s completely freed herself of worrying what other people think of her. She’s still completely considerate & conscious & aware… but she doesn’t make decisions based on what other people will think of it.

If someone makes a hurtful comment on an Instagram post like .. you’re fat or you're ugly or you look old… it stings for a second but then you have to think… this doesn't have to do with me - this is about their own stuff. That person tried to send me POISON… and I get to choose if I take that poison or not. IF I’m going to shake it off or if I’m going to think about it all day long.

Your day can’t be ruined by something someone says to you because their opinion of you is not as important as your own opinion about yourself. And you’re not letting that negativity sink in and morph into your own thoughts about yourself.

The freedom that comes with not caring what people think is incredible.

You only have one life- and it's much better to live it for yourself than for somebody else.

Cheers friends, to not caring what other people think!

0:29.5	You can't let it into your head. Go do your thing. Don't listen to anything but what's in your mind
0:34.9	and what's in your heart. Don't let the judgment get into your
0:38.3	head because it's so easy for you to end up believing it. This whole topic is so complicated,
0:43.9	but it's also so simple. If you give up on caring about what people think, amazing things can

1:30.4	people's opinions. If you listen to the talk in your own head and you're being completely
1:35.6	honest with yourself, how much of that talk includes thinking about what other people think of you?
1:42.2	Because of something they said or because of something
1:44.6	you're assuming, either way, how much does that play into your daily life and the decisions
