You’ve seen it happen over and over again 😣
Constantly putting others’ needs before your own, even when it’s obviously not healthy for you? 🤷♀️ If so, you’re not alone 🙏
Many of us have been taught this and it’s a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can make you well-liked and respected by others. On the other hand, it can leave you feeling exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from your own wants and needs 😳
💙 So how can you manage your people pleasing tendencies in a healthy way? Here are a few tips to consider:
1. Understand your wiring: Where did this come from? What do you feel when this happens? Write it down! And be aware of how it looks in all your different environments.
2. Set rules: What’s important to you? What are you willing to devote to others’ and what’s a step too far?
3. Give it a go: Make a conscious effort to be strong around your rules. Even if it feels uncomfortable at first, you’ll be surprised how well people respond and respect your rules.
☝️Remember, like many/all of the health habits I prescribe, this is not a one-time fix 🙅
🎢 It’s a rollercoaster and it’s a learning process, but starting slow and gaining momentum is a strong way to have life-long health success!
