I release the need to people-please and prioritize my own needs instead
Do you often find yourself saying yes to things you don't really want to do, just to please others? Do you feel like you're constantly putting other people's needs before your own? If so, it's time to start prioritizing your own needs and releasing the need to people-please. Repeat this affirmation to yourself: "I release the need to people-please and prioritize my own needs instead".
People-pleasing can be a difficult habit to break. It's natural to want to make others happy and avoid conflict, but it's important to remember that your own needs and desires are just as important. When you constantly put others first, you may start to feel resentful or burnt out. It's okay to say no and set boundaries for yourself.
Prioritizing your own needs doesn't mean you have to be selfish or uncaring. It simply means that you're taking care of yourself and making sure your own needs are met. This can include things like taking time for yourself, setting boundaries with others, and saying no when you need to.
When you release the need to people-please, you may find that your relationships improve. When you're honest with others about your needs and boundaries, they may respect you more and appreciate your honesty. You may also find that you have more energy and time to devote to the things that truly matter to you.
It's important to remember that prioritizing your own needs is not a one-time event. It's an ongoing process that requires practice and self-awareness. You may slip up and fall back into old habits, but that's okay. Just keep reminding yourself of the affirmation: "I release the need to people-please and prioritize my own needs instead".
One way to start prioritizing your own needs is to practice self-care. This can include things like getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, and doing things that bring you joy. When you take care of yourself, you'll have more energy and motivation to tackle the other areas of your life.
Another way to prioritize your own needs is to set boundaries with others. This can be difficult, especially if you're used to saying yes to everything. But remember that it's okay to say no and to set limits on what you're willing to do. You don't have to be everything to everyone.
