I honor my own needs and desires, without guilt or shame
It's easy to get caught up in the needs and desires of others, especially if you're a people pleaser. You may find yourself constantly putting others first, neglecting your own needs and desires. This can lead to feelings of guilt and shame when you do take time for yourself. However, it's important to remember that honoring your own needs and desires is not selfish, it's necessary for your own well-being.
When you honor your own needs and desires, you are showing yourself love and respect. You are acknowledging that your needs are just as important as anyone else's. This can be difficult at first, especially if you're used to putting others first. But with practice, it becomes easier to prioritize your own needs and desires.
It's important to remember that you are not responsible for the happiness of others. You can support and care for them, but ultimately, their happiness is their own responsibility. By honoring your own needs and desires, you are setting an example for others to do the same. You are showing them that it's okay to prioritize themselves and that it's not selfish to do so.
Repeat the affirmation "I honor my own needs and desires, without guilt or shame" to yourself daily. Say it out loud or write it down. Remind yourself that it's okay to take time for yourself and that you deserve to be happy and fulfilled. When you start to feel guilty or ashamed, remind yourself of this affirmation and the importance of honoring your own needs and desires.
