I've struggled with so many of the same things, always a people pleaser first. Like you, I've learned the hard way that the people I've worked the hardest to please have never been made happy by efforts, only hungrier, needier, more demanding and sometimes even more unpleasant than they were before. Like you, it's taken me a bloody long time to come to the same conclusion and a lot of help from people wiser than I am! I've been working more and more to ask myself what I want in any given moment and to trust that, to try it before I overrule my own wishes in the interests of others. I can honestly say I've never been more well - physically and mentally - more peaceful, or more happy. And I'm more productive - funny that! I'm also learning how to sit with other people's disapproval, particularly those who have come to rely on how I've always been. Good for you Charlotte, cheering you on all the way. Good luck on Saturday and I've subscribed to your blog. Can't wait to hear more - whenever you feel like it ;) Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486456861013184962noreply@blogger.com
