Turning the other cheek

I found a blog today thanks to my friend Mallory. I spent many hours reading the posts on this blog, laughing and crying and feeling like I could learn from what she was saying. One of the biggest things I noticed in posts was "turning the other cheek". I'm struggling to understand how to do this. I feel like I'm struggling to let things go, not let things upset me and to turn the other cheek when it comes to hurtful things said to me or about me.
I want to focus on turning the other cheek this year. I don't want or need to hear family gossip, I don't want to care what people think, I don't want to focus on those negative things.
I need help staying in check and I'm okay admitting that.
