Veterinary Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - How to Cope with Hurtful Words

Did someone say something hurtful about you? Maybe it was to your face, maybe behind your back or maybe it was the most cowardly version, a social media post. They shot a proverbial arrow and it hit you hard.

You have a choice in what you do. You can embrace the wound, show it to everyone you know, talk about it to anyone who’ll listen – and by doing that, you enlarge that wound and don’t let it heal.

Instead you can take the other choice – stick a band-aid on it and move on. Don’t give it any of your mental energy, your time or your emotions. Let it go. Let.It.Go!

What was said may have had your name attached to it but it wasn’t about you. Hurt people hurt people – that incident was about them, not you. Smack a band-aid on that wound and move on with your fabulous life.
