1. It doesn’t matter what THEY think; the only thing that matters is what YOU think.

2. Their judgments say more about them than you.

3. You don’t have to explain yourself to others.

4. You don’t need the approval or acceptance of others.

5. You can’t stop others being negative, judgmental, critical and unkind. Some people are just like that.

6. Emotionally distance yourself from them. They’re unhealthy people to have in your life.

7. Instead of focusing attention on them, focus your attention and energy on things that build you up, and remind you of your worth.
