Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - The Power of Three Southern Words

Do you have a friend or co-worker with … hmmmm … interesting ideas?

The ideas could be about politics, the environment, or even about you – they’re ideas that differ from your beliefs on the same topic. Maybe you and your friend or co-worker have had conversations in the past and you realized that they are immovable in their beliefs, no matter what you say.

This is very common, and is a very common cause of arguments and simmering animosity, especially among co-workers. Friendships can end – co-workers are yours for as long as you both continue working for the same company, so having a way to deal with your differences is vital to your mental wellbeing.

Southerners in the US have a very powerful three-word phrase – “bless their heart.” The words sound sweet, though when spoken between two southerners, both know exactly what they mean – “there’s no hope for them, is there?”

Think about adopting this phrase and using it in the privacy of your skull when dealing with someone with … hmmmm … interesting ideas. You’ll avoid arguments and stress, and that’s pretty powerful, right?
