Newsflash š š„
Humanness alert (is that a word) š
Now and then I find myself slipping back into my old patterns
The patterns of making sure everybody around me is happy because if I think if everybody else is happy then Iāll be happy too š¤¦š»āāļø
Dang itās a hard habit to break - seriouslyyyyyy
Thankfully, Iām able to recognize quickly when I am slipping down that slope of
performing And fitting
rather than belonging to who I am at the core š
It can happen suddenly,
one day you feel like
youāre speaking your truth
boundaries are in check ā
youāre living your own life and then
you hear yourself say something you actually donāt believe
Or
You realize youāve been saying Yes to something thatās draining the lifeblood outta ya
you act a certain way that is so-not-who you are
but šššāš šššš ššššš šššš ššš šš ššš šššššš
Then you wake up one day realizing your life has been
a series of yesās & trails of times NO needed to be the go to answer
š©šš š®šš šššššš šš šššš ššš šššš
What with ātheyā think?
See there's one huge problem with continually trying to make everybody else happy by trying to please other people & sitting on the fence of complacency......
ā¦ā¦..ššš š°ššššššššš¢ šššš š šš š¢šš ššš šš š šššššš,
š°š š ššššš š±šššš
Iām not going to go down the road of why we become like that, thatās not what this post is about because the list is Vast & we each had our own experiences that shaped us
What I am going to say is this. āā>
Once you come to the realization that you actually canāt make everybody happy around you no matter how hard you try
Youāre then able to start focusing on yourself;
doing the necessary internal work needed to see why that desire is within you in the first place - to make everybody else happy around while you push yourself to the side
We must be willing to put ourselves out there, and look in the mirror - in order to heal, help, change, learn and grow
So many times we want a different life,
we want to live in gratefulness, love, joy, peace and deep connection with others
yet we donāt do the work on ourselves in order to evolve past carrying what others think of our decisions
āØIf you know for 100% itās time to move forward in your life .... send me a message & letās get you started āØ
