When you decide to say YES to yourself and the person you want to become, you have to say NO to other things.
And if you’re used to being a people pleaser, this can be a real challenge.
But if you’re appeasing other people at the cost of your own happiness, it’s time to learn how to set some healthy boundaries and normalize saying NO THANK YOU to the things that don’t serve you.
On this episode of Destined to Be, we explain why saying no is self-care, describing the anxiety, exhaustion and overwhelm that result when you don’t make space for what you need.
We discuss the danger empaths face in taking on other people’s problems as their own and challenge you to set boundaries with yourself in order to overcome bad habits and limiting beliefs.
Listen in for insight on why it makes others uncomfortable when you decide to change and learn how to enjoy the freedom of saying NO without explaining yourself or feeling guilty about it.
