85: My People Pleaser Relapse

I recently had 2 People Pleaser relapses.  One was just for a day.  One was for a couple months.  Why is it so hard to stop pleasing all. the. people???

I know that as an Upholder (see article below), being a people pleaser may well be something I always struggle with.  But, even if it’s a life long challenge, I will kick off 2017 recognizing where I fell short in 2016.  I will recognize what I lost by prioritizing other peoples’ needs before my own.  

In 2017 I will:

• Say NO more
• Say YES less
• Stand up for myself
• Tune in to my body and really listen
• Push myself to keep firm boundaries around my time, money, space, goals
• Start following my intuition in terms of where I really want to go in life over the next few years

What will you do to really listen to yourself and your needs as you prepare to enter a new year?
