I don't try to please everyone at the expense of my own needs
It's easy to fall into the trap of trying to please everyone around you. You might think that if you make everyone happy, they'll like you more and you'll feel better about yourself. But the truth is, trying to please everyone can be exhausting and can leave you feeling drained and unfulfilled. That's why it's important to remember the affirmation: "I don't try to please everyone at the expense of my own needs".
When you focus too much on pleasing others, you can lose sight of what you really want and need. You might find yourself saying yes to things you don't really want to do, or putting your own needs on the back burner in order to make someone else happy. This can lead to feelings of resentment and frustration, and can even damage your relationships in the long run.
Instead of trying to please everyone, it's important to prioritize your own needs and desires. This doesn't mean you should be selfish or disregard the feelings of others, but it does mean that you should take care of yourself first and foremost. When you're happy and fulfilled, you'll be better equipped to help others and make a positive impact in the world.
So the next time you find yourself trying to please everyone around you, take a step back and remember the affirmation: "I don't try to please everyone at the expense of my own needs". Ask yourself what you really want and need, and make sure you're taking care of yourself first. When you do this, you'll be able to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life, and you'll be better able to help others in the process.
