Before I knew it I was in a full rant about how he treated me, how he made me hate going to work, how he made my life miserable, how he made me feel depressed and worthless etc.<\/p>\n<p>She turned around and told me that I was giving my boss all the power to my life. She then asked me if I wanted him to be in charge of my life.<\/p>\n<p>That blew me away. Of course I didn&#8217;t want that person to be in charge of my life. I wouldn&#8217;t trust him with my pet&#8217;s life, let alone mine.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that I was giving him power over all aspects of my life by allowing him to affect not only my workplace but also my home life and my own self-esteem.<\/p>\n<p>Realising that was quite a shock, but she was right. I was giving him full power over me. I decided that it was time to take that power back.<\/p>\n<p>From that day, I stopped letting him affecting my emotions and let it wash over me. I was so much happier for turning it around to give myself the power back.<\/p>\n<p>The greatest way that you can stop a negative person affecting you, is to take charge and not allow them to impact on you. Take your power back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I remember it so clearly, it was a Monday and a friend came over for a cuppa and a general catch up.
