“Let Them” theory
Is that the way to a happy life?
Sometimes it is the small expectations of others who pull us down. We can let go with the “Let Them” theory.
Sometimes we humans, expectations or small everyday conflicts unnecessarily energy. We are annoyed by friends who do not invite us to colleagues who act differently than we wish and or acquaintances who disappoint us with their behavior. This is exactly where the “Let Them” theory comes in: it advises to let others be as they are and to focus on what is good for you. At first glance, the idea looks simple – but that makes it so effective for many people.
What exactly does “Let Them” mean?
The theory was made popular by US bestselling author Mel Robbins. Your approach is simple: Instead of putting energy in anger, brooding or control attempts, it is about practicing acceptance. According to the motto: the joy didn’t invite you to a meeting? Leave them. Someone behaves distant or shows disinterest? Leave him.
This is how the focus of the behavior of others shifts to one’s own actions and satisfaction.
Why is that liberating?
The core of the “Let Them” theory is in a well -known psychological principle: we cannot control the behavior of others – only our reaction to it. Those who internalize this knowledge not only save nerves, they also win freedom.
The effects: less pressure, more self -determination and inner peace. We stop making expectations of others. Instead of running after others, we align our lives according to our own values. Anyone who accepts that people behave as they want creates a distance to unnecessary drama.
Criticism of the “Let Them” theory
Of course, “let them” does not mean accepting everything in silence. In close relationships or at work, communication, compromises and limits are still required. The theory is more of a tool for situations in which we have no control or in which the adherence to damage is more harmful than benefits.
The key to a happier life?
Studies on positive psychology show that serenity and acceptance are among the factors that increase well -being. The “Let Them” theory provides a memory suitable for everyday use. By letting go of what does not serve us, we create space for what is really important – people who value us and activities that fulfill us.
