Friday Fix: Episode 229

Have you ever spent two hours dreading the fact you were going to see someone for an hour? If so, you gave that person two extra hours of your life. Have you ever blamed someone for ruining your day or putting you in a bad mood? If so, you gave that person power over your emotions. And if we’re not careful, we might waste a lot of time and energy thinking about or complaining about them. Or, we might let a negative person influence our behavior in an unhealthy way. On this episode of The Verywell Mind Podcast, I share the top five signs that could indicate you’re giving a negative person too much power over your life. I also explain the steps you can take to empower yourself to be the best version of yourself regardless of how others behave.
