| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Black Girl Burnout podcast, Kelly here. And today I want to talk about how to opt out of the need to change people's minds. |
| 0:18.0 | This has been a journey for me because for a long time, I was really caught up in the need |
| 0:23.2 | to make people feel away about me, to make different choices, and to make different decisions. |
| 0:28.9 | And what I have come to in this space and season of my life is that I no longer feel that need. |
| 0:35.2 | I have fully opted into, I respect your choice. |
| 0:39.2 | I have opted out of changing people's minds and I've opted into, I respect people's choices. |
| 0:45.7 | Let me give you some examples of where I have changed my behavior and how it's bettered my life and then offer you a pathway and a practice to doing |
| 0:55.6 | the same for yourself. Really, I think about this opting out of changing people's minds in three |
| 1:02.0 | areas of where we might get stuck in a loop of doing this. One is with our romantic and platonic |
| 1:08.2 | partnerships, like the way we create friendships and have partners in our lives, |
| 1:14.0 | a lot of times we can get stuck into this loop of needing to change people's minds |
| 1:17.7 | when they're no longer interested in us or they're no longer giving us what we need in the |
| 1:22.7 | relationship. |
| 1:23.8 | The second place this shows up is around like colleagues and peers, I guess, for lack of a better word. |
| 1:32.2 | Once I became a quote unquote boss or supervisor, I would sometimes get in my feelings about people not wanting to work with me anymore or peer relationships and connections that just weren't |
| 1:45.5 | fruitful or working out, I'd want to change their mind. So in the professional realm. And the third |
| 1:51.7 | area we're going to talk about is when we want to change people's minds around decisions or |
| 1:57.7 | choices that they make that we just don't agree with, that we fundamentally think is not |
| 2:02.1 | healthy for them. So looking at the first area, let's talk a little bit about how I no longer |
| 2:08.6 | want to change people's minds when it comes to partnering with me romantically or being my |
| 2:13.7 | friend. I have just let go of that. I am in the space now where I'm like, I respect your |
| 2:19.9 | choice. And I don't say that with anger or sarcasm underneath it. I say, I'm respecting your choice |
