THE PERVASIVE DANGER OF PEOPLE-PLEASING

Everyone wants their way. Absolutely.

We’re taught to be kind to people, be understanding they’ll say, let people have their way.

What about you that is left with the results?

Whether we like it or not, people want to dominate, they want to spread their views, their influence, they want to be noticed and agreed with.

Saying no is hard, people can be massive pricks, but how do you want your life to be? What do YOU want your life to look like?

Please yourself and expect nothing of others.

IT’S ALWAYS WORSE IN YOUR HEAD

Don’t you feel like there’s ‘always something’ to deal with these days?

Well, you know what, despite feeling anxious sometimes, I wouldn’t change it because every time I face something challenging, I overcome it resiliently and am the better for it after.

It’s a highly optimistic world view and that’s me.

There are always people demanding things.

There are tasks you’re fretting over.

Yes, it can feel like a headache.

But which is worse?

Avoiding what you know you can do and staying in the same place you’re not happy with?

Or facing the fears and realising that life is much simpler than you think?

Not really a contest is it?
