In life, there are people who support your growth and others who act as a drain on your energy. This post focuses on how to let go of those detrimental individuals who create unnecessary disturbance in your life.
When you are in the middle of a conflict with someone who behaves in a rude, unprofessional, or difficult way, it is natural to feel angry or sad. However, how you navigate that discomfort determines how quickly you can move forward.
Ways to Let Go of Disturbing Situations
- Stay calm, don’t rage: Getting caught up in rage wastes your time. Remaining calm keeps you focused on peaceful, realistic solutions. Anger locks you into the problem; being peaceful allows you to see the best course of action and think clearly before you act.
- Recognize the good: Even when someone has behaved poorly, there may be past actions or aspects of the situation that are still worthy of acknowledgment or thanks. Balancing your perspective can help you stay centered.
- Communicate with clarity: Use a pleasant and professional tone to state exactly what you need and why. Avoid complaining or whining; simply set your terms clearly and allow the other person space to respond.
- Don’t wait—take action: If someone is unresponsive, do not wait for them to change. Begin taking proactive steps toward your own goals. You may need to systematically disconnect from them at the appropriate time to reclaim your momentum.
- Eliminate the “waiting” hook: Recognize that when difficult people make you wait, they are often attempting to establish a psychic hook. Refuse to be held in suspense; eliminate the “waiting” period and move on.
- Have a strategic plan: Be careful with the order of your actions. Do not leave doors open for people you intend to disconnect from. Planning your departure—and the process of tying up loose ends—will significantly reduce your stress and help you regain a sense of control.
