We just spent four wonderful days in Napa, California. I had one day of speaking for a client there, but then the rest of the time was spent having fun. We all know fun eliminates difficult people!

If you want to cut down on having difficult people in your environment, take a look at this blog – about happiness. Good stuff and very well stated.

We had the opportunity to dine with friends from Chico, California. Gary and his wife Judy are very successful, having sold their business for Million$ a few years back and they certainly understand how to be successful!

St. Patrick’s Day reminded me of a subject that makes me crazy!! Seriously, I am just sick to death of people taking themselves too seriously (pun intended.)   Learning to laugh (again) is exactly that – learning.  Difficult people particularly walk around with a sour look and sometimes a stare that is pretty scary.  Do yourself a favor — order The Levity Effect by Adrian Gostick on Amazon to eliminate mental toxic behavior.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day and this is a great time to get all the “snakes” out of your life – just like St. Patrick did!

PLEDGE
I _____________ (your name) promise that I will identify toxic behavior, use new skills in my approach, and NEVER use excuses ever again. I have the strength and fortitude to continue to practice, even after I have failed. I am never the Toxic Person. I pledge to stay calm, and to keep my temper. I promise never to take a Toxic Person’s behavior personally or to seek retribution. I know how to keep my power by maintaining control. I create my own environment that nurtures my success. I am the master of my future, my stress level, and my own behavior.

You are probably saying … “Don’t get me started!” We all have stories of the unmanageable person or job from our past business life. We do after all have choices as to how we manage our own environment.

I recommend reading this great blog post about a situation and how it was handled. Toxic Snake Pits and Hateful People.

My thought is the more you read about how people react or respond to situations, the better you are at managing your own. Here’s the rub. Most people that I know just keep whining about the job dissatisfaction they are experiencing, or that awful boss, or the crummy colleague. They become toxic themselves.
