How to use ‘Let Them’ Theory by Mel Robbins
1 Mindset shift
2 When to use it
3 How to use it
Allow others to make their own choices without trying to control them, even when it feels wrong.
When frustrated by someone's actions, opinions, or behaviour.
Notice where you're trying to control someone. Mentally say "let them" and redirect attention to your own response.
