Without further adieu, the great Dr. Pam!
Youโve probably heard of Mel Robbinsโ Let Them theory. WellโฆIโve got a podcast coming out soon on YouTube on The Shrink Rap ShowโLet โEm!!! Watch for it!
Itโs a great reminder to stay in your lane and โdo youโ while letting others โdo them.โ This can be a lot easier said than done at times, especially with our closest relationships.
Hereโs the bottom line in my fave โ acronym style, LET โEM style!
L โ LET PEOPLE BE WHO THEY ARE.You can't change anyone but yourself, so stop trying to manage other peopleโs behavior or opinions. Let โem be! E โ ENERGY IS IN LIMITED SUPPLY.Donโt waste it getting caught up in othersโ drama or trying to fix them. Itโs not your job to make sure someone is OK, happy, or getting along with others. Thatโs an energy drain. Let โem fig it out!
T โ THEREโS A TIME TO HOLD ON AND A TIME TO LET GO.Accept that not everyone is meant to stay in your life. Some people are here for a season and a reason โ and then no more. Let โem go!
E โ EVERYONE HAS WORTH.When someone ignores or hurts you, it can feel like rejection. Often, itโs not about you โ itโs about them. Never question your worth. Invest energy in people who genuinely value you. Let โem in!
M โ MAKE PEACE WITH WHAT IS.Practice radical acceptance. Stop resisting reality and accept things as they are. Not easy! This is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and radical acceptance at its core. Let it go!
In a nutshell โ allow others to have their opinions, make their own mistakes, and live with their own consequences. Thatโs their lane. Stay in yours and keep the focus on you โ your thoughts, behaviors, feelings, life.
You can do this. You really can.
Here are some starters:
1๏ธโฃ Shift your focus inward and redirect energy spent on managing others toward your own goals, healing, growth, health, and desires.
2๏ธโฃ Build trust in yourself.
3๏ธโฃ Validate internally instead of externally. Trust your choices, even when others donโt understand or agree.
Your gut is usually pretty darn accurate. Wise counsel is helpful โ but no one knows you better than you, save perhaps your Creator.
Do you. Let โem โ and let you!!!Practice makes this easier, even if it feels uncomfortable at first.
โจ Calling all wellness seekers to make 2026 a LET โEM year! โจ
Canโt wait to hear from you!
Yours on the journey,
Dr. Pam ๐
