Any People Pleasers here?

[sm****]

Hi everyone! 

 

Until recently I have been a true people pleaser and social butterfly. I didn't know how to say "No" without hurting the people around me. I felt guilty to put myself first. Combined with a busy work and study life, there was no time for myself anymore... Without me realising it, the stress affected my physical health and the relationships around me... So I decided to make a change: I did a master with the focus on Happiness Economics and became a certified meditation and mindfulness teacher. The techniques and knowledge I have learned since have helped me to truly love myself and make myself a priority. I was able to stop pleasing everyone around me and as a result create healthy and fulfilled relationships. Anyone else has a similar experience or is maybe still struggling? Would love to hear your thoughts and connect! 🙂

It seems like a lot of us struggle with saying no, and fearing to disappoint others we end up disappointing ourselves instead. Self love and self care is still something we tend to not prioritise enough, and we worry it will be considered selfish to put ourselves first. I'm still working on it, but getting better at finding a balance, and  saying no and respecting my own boundaries when I need to. 🌈

💯 consistently being able to respect my own boundaries and recognising that my boundaries are valid and necessary is something I battle with too! 
 

im too much of a “YES MAN” 🤦‍♂️

I only know one thing that I am making of myself. I am happy because of me and unhappy because of me. Now I don't know how to be unhappy. Recently I got promoted in my carrier but not any valuable financial impact. Then my boss asked are u not happy. I said if u do not take me seriously I want to say I don't know how to be unhappy 😂
