Teflon, baby
Build up your emotional immunity – Marilu calls that your Teflon. A good coating of Teflon allows you to let the negativity slide right off. How do you build up Teflon? By spending time with yourself, knowing yourself well, and trusting your gut. A little resilience is a good thing.
Then if there’s a kernel of truth to the criticism, you have the confidence to hear that perspective and gain some insight – perhaps making a change as a result. And you know in your heart if there is no truth to those comments. You can just let them slide.
As a former approval junkie, the idea of Teflon has made a big difference in my happiness and peace of mind. A small dose of indifference to what people think of me at any given moment frees me up to be true to myself and be the BEST person I can be.
