Psychology Hack To Stop Caring What Others Think of You
Show Notes

This is probably one of the most IMPORTANT concepts that you need to hear if you are ready to uplevel your life!

We are exploring WHY - instinctually, we care so much about what other people think of us, and HOW we can stop letting it get in our way.
Plus, I am ending our session today with some step-by-step coaching tips on you can break these questions down for yourself!

** This is a special episode because I am giving you a sneak peek into some of the specific questions and thought processes that have been MOST SUCCESSFUL in my practice thus far.

Here are just a few of the questions you'll have answers to by the end of today's session.

  • Why do we have internal arguments or battles with ourselves when we are trying to grow out of our comfort zone or do something new?
  •  Why do we limit our own progress over the fear of something someone else might say?
  • Why does simply 'not wanting to care' not enough?

I'm using a tool from one of the most well-known psychologists of our time, Abraham Maslow, coupling this information with what we know about the evolution of our brains, what we know about the evolution of our society, and how we can use this information to STOP letting the fear of what others think of us get in our way of meeting our potential.

A summary of the 5 layers of Maslow's Theory:

  1. Biological and Physiological Needs(the base/bottom level)
  2. Safety Needs
  3. Belongingness and Love Needs
  4. Esteem Needs *
  5. Self-Actualization

*Being able to understand and recognize our "Esteem Needs" is key.
Remember, there are two elements of Esteem:  Self-esteem and Self-respect. Furthermore, self-esteem has an additional 2 subcategories to explore.
And this is where we find our answer... this is where we look to be able to successfully STOP caring about WHAT other people think of us.

Literature mentioned in  today's session for further reading:

  • A Theory of Human Motivation is the original 1943 paper written by Maslow. 
  • Motivation and Personality is the follow-up book written by Maslow in which he explains the 5 Rializable Needs, and how he theorizes we are able to move upward through the levels.
