Morning Mantra: "Make someone smile every day. But never forget you are someone too.”It’s easy to get caught up in people pleasing.  I used to be really bad at saying Yes when I really wanted to say No.I used to put other people's needs ahead of my own.I used to do things out of obligation not desire.I used to do anything so people would like me.THEN. I. STOPPED.I realized that the cost to my soul was too high.I realized that the wrong people were draining me so I didn't have enough left for the right people.I realized that I had no power over my life, that everyone else was running it.I realized that I was trying to validate myself through other people's opinion of me. I realized that people pleasing didn't allow me to receive because I was always giving.Now I practice self-care.I take some time to really think about my answer before I say Yes.I am aware of my tendency to want to help at my own expense.I no longer change myself to get approval.I understand that giving of myself and my time should be reciprocated.I still do a lot for others. But I extend that kindness to myself as well.#BeWillingToStopPeoplePleasing  #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #InspirationalQuotes
