Have you ever felt overwhelmed by someone else’s emotions, or found yourself endlessly comparing your life to others’? If the answer is "too much," you’re not alone. American author, former lawyer and podcast host Mel Robbins introduces the ‘The Let Them Theory’. 

Diving into the theory in her audiobook on Audible, she offers a profound yet simple way to break free from this cycle.

This guide unpacks how two words—"Let Them"—can revolutionise the way you manage stress, relationships, and self-perception. If you’ve ever found yourself struggling to balance others’ opinions with your own needs, this theory could be the life reset you need.

These transformative tips from Robbins aim to inspire people to make conscious choices, and for those ready to embrace this empowering mindset.

1. Managing life problems and stress
Don’t you think life’s minor annoyances often become energy drains? Stress often stems from our attempts to control situations beyond our reach. Mel Robbins reveals the power of acceptance with her “Let Them” mantra. This approach doesn’t mean ignoring responsibilities but acknowledging that you can only manage your reaction. "The truth is, other people hold no real power over you unless you give it to them. When you stop trying to control things that aren’t yours to control, you stop wasting your energy. You reclaim your time, your peace of mind, and your focus. You realise that your happiness is tied to your actions, not someone else’s behaviour, opinions, or mood."
