I repeatedly go back to the Mel Robbins podcast and listen to her describe the Let Them Theory. I love the analogy she uses of dropping the rope and stopping the emotional tug of war. I’ve realized not only have I been in this tug of war but that at the other end of the rope is a fictional character. It’s not even the real person but instead is the woman I’ve created in the story in my mind…and she’s a monster. No wonder it never feels like I’m winning…time to drop the rope and choose emotional peace.
