I let go of the need to please others, and prioritize my own wellness and happiness
It's easy to get caught up in the desire to please others. We want to be liked, accepted, and valued by those around us. But sometimes, this desire can become all-consuming, and we end up sacrificing our own wellness and happiness in the process. That's why it's important to remind yourself of the affirmation: "I let go of the need to please others, and prioritize my own wellness and happiness".
When you prioritize your own wellness and happiness, you're not being selfish. In fact, you're doing yourself and those around you a favor. When you're happy and healthy, you're better equipped to show up for others in a positive way. You have more energy, more patience, and more love to give.
On the other hand, when you're constantly trying to please others, you're likely neglecting your own needs. You might be saying yes to things you don't really want to do, or putting your own goals and desires on the back burner. This can lead to feelings of resentment, burnout, and even depression.
So, how can you let go of the need to please others and prioritize your own wellness and happiness? It starts with setting boundaries. You don't have to say yes to every request that comes your way. It's okay to say no, or to ask for more time to consider a request. You can also communicate your needs and desires to those around you. Let them know what you need in order to feel happy and healthy.
Another important step is to practice self-care. This might mean taking time for yourself each day to do something you enjoy, like reading a book or taking a walk. It might mean getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, or exercising regularly. Whatever it is that makes you feel good, make it a priority.
Remember, you are the only one who can prioritize your own wellness and happiness. It's up to you to let go of the need to please others and focus on what's best for you. Repeat the affirmation: "I let go of the need to please others, and prioritize my own wellness and happiness". It may take time and practice, but with each step you take, you'll be one step closer to living a happier, healthier life.
