I release the need to please at my expense
The affirmation "I release the need to please at my expense" can help you let go of the need to constantly please others, even if it comes at the cost of your own well-being. It's a common tendency to want to make others happy, but sometimes this can lead to neglecting your own needs and desires. This affirmation can help you break free from this pattern and prioritize your own happiness and well-being.
When you constantly try to please others, you may find yourself feeling drained, stressed, and overwhelmed. You may feel like you're always putting others first and neglecting your own needs. This can lead to feelings of resentment and frustration, which can ultimately harm your relationships with others.
By releasing the need to please at your expense, you're acknowledging that your own happiness and well-being are just as important as anyone else's. You're giving yourself permission to prioritize your own needs and desires, even if it means saying no to others or setting boundaries.
It's important to remember that saying no doesn't make you a bad person. It's okay to prioritize your own needs and desires, and it's important to communicate this to others. When you're honest about your own needs and boundaries, you're setting the stage for healthier relationships with others.
Releasing the need to please at your expense can also help you let go of the need for external validation. When you're constantly seeking approval from others, you may find yourself feeling like you're not good enough unless you're pleasing others. This can lead to feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem.
By releasing the need to please at your expense, you're acknowledging that your own worth and value come from within, not from external validation. You're giving yourself permission to be true to yourself and to prioritize your own needs and desires, even if it means going against the expectations of others.
