Transcript of It's not your job to manage people's emotions | Mel Robbins #Shorts

When you're an adult, you're not responsible for managing other people's emotions. You got to let your mom be disappointed. You got to let your step brother be an instigator on politics. You're not responsible for parenting them. You are responsible for your emotions. You and I have spent years trying to change our family, managing them, feeling like it's your responsibility for your mom to be happy, for everything to go okay.

You're going to use the let them theory to stop yourself from managing other people, fixing other people, engaging in the old dynamics. You're then going to say, let me, and you're going to focus on your part in it. How do I want to show up? What is it that I want to lean into? And what am I going to opt out of? And when you start to get very clear about that, you now have a roadmap for what's in your control, which is how you show up, how you engage, what energy you bring, what conversations you initiate, which ones you participate in, which ones you don't.

That is all in your control.
