Dealing with difficult people is an inconvenience we cannot control. I know it’s not fun but as much as you want to give them a wedgie, you can’t. Instead, you must learn how to work with the interaction. Everyone we encounter is in someone way a reflection of us. How do you work with them? The simple answer is to be kind. There is nothing that you can do to prevent someone’s behavior. I am not implying that you take abuse, however, beating up the grocery store clerk is unacceptable on so many levels.
In most cases, we are in the wrong place at the “right time”. I say that because I believe the Universe creates situations to promote personal growth. We all have experienced someone that was obviously having a crappy day and wanted you to know it. Did you deserve it? Probably not, but the opportunity was presented for you to learn a lesson. There is nothing that you can do to prevent another person’s behavior. I am not implying you take abuse, but beating up the grocery store clerk is unacceptable on so many levels.
As we ebb and flow, we are being challenged to deal with our adversities as big people. No more screaming , yelling or having temper tantrums. Our job is to use our big boy/ girl words as we tell our truth. Here are three ways to deal with difficult people whol-istically:
Take a Deep Breath: When dealing with difficult people the best thing to do is pause and take a deep breath. Breathing is a great way to release tension, stress and anger from the body. Breathing also relaxes the mind, body and soul and relieves emotional discomfort.
Check your attitude: If your attitude is showing, do yourself the favor by dealing with your demons the right way. I understand how the stresses of today can take a toll on you but you have the power to create happiness. Why kill yourself worrying about a situation you can’t change? Accept the situation for what it is and work on creating the life you want. The path to self-realization comes with self-love not hate. Love yourself enough to stay present! Intern, you will begin to attract the right people and situations in your life.
Send Them Blessings: Have you ever heard the old saying “Misery loves company?” There is truth in that statement. You will encounter miserable people that live to share their melancholy with the world. Before you react, think, positive energy radiates. No need to fight them with, do the opposite—make people feel good. Empower them by being a positive example. Treat them kindly even if they’re showing their ugly.
Practice Loving Detachment: In some situations the best policy is the Law of Allowance. We must allow others to live in their truth. If their accusations don’t ring true to your inner guide, don’t argue, release it. If they want to leave, allow it. Thank them for the experience and move on. By living in a place of compassion you allow the other person to see their reflection. Besides, it’s hard to fight someone that comes in love.
Understand the situation is not about you. However, when you choose to feed in to their negativity you’re doing nothing but attracting more negativity. You have a choice in the matter. Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your permission. Take the high road and allow the shift, while standing in your integrity.
