As someone who once lived the life of a people-pleaser, I remember what it's like to make decisions solely based on the desire to always "do the right thing", and leave others better than I found them. I know what it's like to have a clear vision of what you want and still default to committing to what others wanted instead out of habit.
I didnt want to disappoint anyone.
I didnt feel comfortable saying NO, and didn't want to deal with the blow back either.
I felt guilty for not helping when I was fully capable of lending a hand.
Can you recall the last time you agreed to do something or said yes when you didnt really want to? How did you feel after making that decision?
