The “Let Them” Theory: A Simple Mindset Shift for Letting Go

The “Let Them” Theory: A Simple Mindset Shift for Letting Go

Have you ever told yourself, “I don’t care what others think,” only to find yourself replaying a conversation or worrying about someone’s opinion? You’re not alone. Worrying about what others think is a common struggle—but what if there was a way to let go of that worry for good?

Enter the “Let Them” theory by Mel Robbins. This practice is about granting others the freedom to feel however they want while freeing yourself from the weight of their opinions.

Here’s how it works:

  • They don’t like you? Let them. There are so many people who love and appreciate you. Focus on them.
  • They don’t like your product or service? Let them. You’re not for everyone, and that’s okay. Someone else is looking for exactly what you offer.
  • They think your prices are too high? Let them. The right people will recognize the value of your work and be willing to invest.

The beauty of this is its simplicity. By saying “Let them,” you’re not being dismissive or cold; you’re setting boundaries and shifting your energy to what truly matters—your growth, joy, and authenticity.

When you embrace the “Let Them” mindset, you stop wasting energy trying to control what others think or do. Instead, you refocus on your own path, trusting that the right people and opportunities will align with you.

So, next time doubt or worry creeps in, pause and remind yourself: Let them.
