A galpal asked me to look at something on a friend’s Facebook page and I reported back their timeline looked empty to me. “WTF?” she asked? “Did he block you? Are you two fighting? You\u2019re powerful to make someone do that.\u201d I laughed at her readiness to read drama into it, her first response was to assign roles and blame. He didn\u2019t block me since it showed we are still friends. I don’t know him well enough to fight with him. My first thought was he makes posts he lets only \u201creal\u201d friends see. Her first thought was \u201csomeone is doing something against you.\u201d We all know people like that. I don\u2019t take things personally. People are entitled to share with me or not and if they want me to know the reasons why, they’ll tell me. Not everything is a giant soap opera. When we stop contributing to the personality dramas around us, we begin to tap into that inner world where our guidance lies. The more we tap in, the more we\u2019re guided to focus on things that bring real emotional fulfillment. Yes, the emotional highs and lows in personality drama can be addicting and some people thrive on it. If it\u2019s getting less entertaining, step back from it. Don\u2019t talk about it with anyone. That will let you begin to vibe in a new place, to tune yourself to a new channel. As a kickstart, spend a few minutes in nature allowing the trees to absorb your stress. Ask to be guided to more appealing pursuits, people and circumstances. Some friends will go with you, others will not. Close your eyes and breathe in the fresh air. Exhale slowly and fully. Do that a few more times. Nothing beats the emotional high of seeing more of the world as it is. And all it takes is moving your focus off everyone else\u2019s drama. If you find yourself obsessed with it, take time to examine internally why you have the fascination and ask what you can learn from it.<\/p>\n
