By consciously replacing "should" with "want," you become the queen (or king!) of your own castle, embracing flexibility, kicking stress to the curb, and building connections that actually light you up.

It's time to swap those demanding divas for cool, chill preferences. Preferences are like your best friend – they've got your back, they know what you want, but they're also flexible and understand that life throws curveballs.

"Should" is their favorite word, and disappointment is their love language. But guess what? You're the director of your own life, not some drama-filled soap opera!

The People-Pleasing Playbook:
To avoid rejection, people-pleasers often...
Fake Agreement: "Love your idea!" (Even when they don't.)
Pretend Enjoyment: "This is great!" (Secretly miserable.)
Exaggerate: "I'm amazing at this!" (Reality: Not so much.)
Break Free. Here's How...

The Rejection Trap:
People-pleasers get caught in a cycle of fear. They believe:
Expressing their true selves = Rejection
Rejection = Abandonment, Loss of Love, Ostracism
This leads to...

What if the key to unlocking your true self was hidden in the very thing you fear most?
Rejection. That gut-wrenching feeling no people-pleaser wants to face. It's the monster under the bed, the shadow in the corner. But what if I told you...it doesn't have to be?

If you are feeling resentment today, ask yourself what boundaries (even unrealized) have been crossed? This is a key part of healing for the people-pleaser.
Understanding that emotions are pointers, helps us learn from them, instead of trying to ignore or hide them.
Resentment is not a wrong or bad emotion. It doesn't necessarily mean forgiveness has been withheld -- that's bitterness.
Resentment about a situation or in a relationship points to your boundaries being violated -- NOT ok.

The shame & guilt felt about jealousy points to allowing others to dictate & define who you should be, want, & do.
Want the thing that makes you jealous? Stop living for other's approval.
Your feelings are pointers. Listen to them. Follow them to the root & change your life.
There is no shame or guilt over feeling jealous. Jealousy doesn't make you a bad person.
You feel jealous of a person/situation b/c it points to something you want & don't have. Having wants isn't morally wrong.

If you are suffering from experiencing anxiety & insomnia, ask yourself what needs are not being met/ignored & how does this conflict with my core beliefs & values?
Your emotions are trying to tell you something important.
Anxiety and insomnia often go hand in hand.
They point to each other.
Insomnia points us to a need to realign ourselves with our values because our core beliefs are conflicted. Anxiety points us to needs that are not being met and/or are being ignored.

Disappointment means we actually tried & points to our commitment.
Use your emotions to help you recognize what is attached to them. Don't dismiss them or try to prevent them. They are important teachers.
Feeling sad is uncomfortable & we try to avoid it at all cost.
But when we violate our own softness by trying to NOT be sad, we literally ignore opportunity to understand & recognize what we truly love & care for.
Sadness is a pointer to our why in disappointing circumstances.

Negative emotions are not bad, wrong, shameful or something to feel guilt over; instead allow them to point you where there is need for inner work, so you can do the outer work your heart desires.
30.01.2025 16:20 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0What depression is really saying is NOT that you don't care about yourself. Depression at its core is hidden anger -- sometimes so deeply hidden, we aren't even aware of the offense attached to it.
Once we uncover anger, we can then use the anger as a pointer to where we have need for change.

When we boldly come forth as an untamed, midlife woman, who used to live for others' approval, we learn we are capable of being both soft & powerful.
We recognize we are dark & light.
Fierce & delicate. Strong & gentle.
We hold duality & celebrate being both warrior princess & nurturing healer.

Don't know where to start on a task, situation, or emotion?
Ask yourself these 3 questions to get forward movement again:
1. What am I thinking? (about a situation, task, emotion, etc)
2. What am I telling myself? (about a situation, task, emotion, etc)
3. What is my immediate next move?
