I Received some great advice from a blog friend's post today. It's ground-breaking enough to share here since we all deal with difficult people on different levels every day. This advice works no matter what situation is facing you, whether it be a person who is in your face, about something that is none of their business, someone who is criticizing your children's behavior, or a nosy business person who is constantly telling you how to do your job. Unless of course, it is your mom - then consider this advice null and void because Mom's always trump acting dumb - don't forget that kiddos....
Are you ready to find out what it is? OK, here it goes... When faced with a nasty comment or a condescending peice of advice that just makes your skin crawl, try this!
DON'T react. Don't say a thing. Just smile like there is air in your brain and nothing else. I love it. It works wonders. No energy in your mind wasted. No doubts of your abilities (whatever the situation). No negative feelings on your part. Confidence, with a touch of purposeful idiocy. There's nothing like it. It takes crabby people off guard and instantly diffuses a situation. It's actually fun. Try it!
I like it. I'm gonna try it immediately, rinse and repeat every day... Try it on and see what YOU think!
