June 26 - I Release People-Pleasing

People-pleasing often starts from a good place. We want to be kind to others. Maybe we want to keep the peace. We want show up for the people we care about.

Sometimes it was the only way we knew to feel safe.

But now, it’s gotten real, real old. You say yes when you meant to say no. You’re tired of staying silent when something doesnn’t feel right. And you’re really tired putting others’ needs ahead of your own until you are absolutely drained.

Your voice matters.

Your needs are valid.

You don’t have to earn love or acceptance.

You don’t have to give so much that you’re dying inside.

I hope these affirmations remind us that we are allowed to show up as we are—and we are more than enough.
