Mel Robbin’s book “The Let Them Theory” was life changing for me and I have to tell you why.

I listened to the book and being read by the author made it especially meaningful. I could listen to Mel every day. In fact her socials and podcast are now on all my list so I can continue to apply the Let Them / Let Me theory to my life.

The theory isn’t just letting things that generally bother you go. Or letting others treat you however you want. It’s more about falling in love with yourself and taking back your own power and your own feelings.

From listening to this life changing book I learned that….

• “Not every email warrants a response. Not every conversation needs your participation. Your silence cannot be misquoted.”
• A lot of what has set me off in the past is t worth my time and energy.
• I always get to choose how I respond.
• There is space for multiple opinions to be true. Let them have their opinions and I’ll focus on how I’m going to respond.
• People can only meet me as deeply as they’ve met themselves.
• Stop chasing people who are not choosing you back.
• “You must let their behavior be the clear message. Letting them. That’s easy. Let me. That’s hard. Let me see them for who they are. Let me accept the truth for their behavior. I’m not a priority. If they’re not making an effort. They’re not worth yours.”
• “When you say let them you accept people as they are and their behavior as the truth as how they feel about me and when you say let me you choose how love shows up in your life and that’s where you have all the power.”

Let them

Let me

And something I can hear my Grandpa Snider standing proudly behind… “You get one wild and precious life. So go live it in a way that makes you proud.”
