I am in a zone of my own. No one has access to me unless I grant them access. Gone are the days of me running on empty because I have given too many people access to my mind, my body or my services.
There was a time that I prided myself in being all things to all people…. But I’ve learned in those moments that it benefited everyone EXCEPT me. My peace was interrupted, my thoughts were interrupted and most of all I was physically exhausted!
I had to learn to be okay with saying no…with being labeled as difficult… in order for me to be of any benefit to others, I had to be good.
My therapist called it people pleasing syndrome. With this… you don’t feel fully fulfilled unless you please others. You thrive on pleasing others while neglecting yourself. Not only does this drain you physically, but it mentally ties you to others prompting you to become an empath…. An empath!!! Imagine constantly taking on the hurt or excitement of others while trying to maintain your own?!
I was a hot mental mess. Yep. I was.
I told you before and I’ll say it again… this blog is me being transparent. This blog is acknowledging me being imperfectly perfect and totally okay with it.
But back to today…
Be okay with limiting access with you because nobody can love YOU like YOU can. Happiness starts with you.
