PEOPLE PLEASING IS A SURVIVAL SKILL, NOT A PERSONAL FLAW

People pleasing often begins as a way to stay safe, connected, or accepted. It’s learned early, practised quietly, and reinforced when keeping the peace feels easier than risking rejection.

Unlearning it can feel deeply uncomfortable. Not because you’re doing something wrong, but because you’re choosing yourself instead of abandoning your needs. That shift can stir guilt, anxiety, and a nervous system that isn’t quite sure what to do yet.

Go gently. This is not about becoming hard or uncaring. It’s about learning that your needs matter too, and that real connection never requires you to disappear 💚🩷💛🧡

THE DUAL CITIZENSHIP OF BEING ALIVE 🌍🔥🌱 ….in today’s crazy world

Like many of you, I’m personally struggling to hold it all right now. A world filled with hatred, cruelty and chaos — and at the very same time, moments of beauty, kindness, laughter and deep connection. It can feel confusing, exhausting and emotionally overwhelming.

As Karen Salmansohn so powerfully names it, this is the dual citizenship of being alive at this time:
• devastating headlines AND a sunrise
• grief AND grace
• rage AND reverence
• despair AND hope
• heartbreak AND respect
And….HATRED and KINDNESS 💖COMPASSIONATE ACTS FILLED WITH INNOCENCE, GENEROSITY & DECENCY💓

You’re allowed to feel all of it — especially if you’re an HSP, Empath, or someone with sensory sensitivity who feels the world deeply. Grounding ourselves helps us stay anchored while we let it all in — without judgement, without shutting down, and without losing ourselves. 💛

Hang in there and seek support where and when you can. Use all your tools 💁🏻‍♀️

✨ Inspired by Karen Salmansohn

WHO you spend time with.
WHAT you consume.
WHAT you tolerate.
HOW you speak to yourself.

None of it is neutral.

Energy matters….choosing what you allow into your ‘mind, body & space’ is an act of self-respect.

BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS A DAILY PRACTICE

Believing in yourself isn’t something you tick off once and carry forever.

It’s something you ‘gently practise’ again and again 💁🏻‍♀️ especially on the quiet days when doubt creeps in and nothing feels shiny or rewarding. I get it !!!

Some days it looks like confidence.

Other days it looks like simply not giving up on yourself….And both count. If you’re in an in-between season right now, please know this: the effort you’re making still matters more than you realise.

It is hard 🫣 and yes, it’s absolutely worth it. You’re building a life that works for you, one small act of self-belief at a time. 💗💛

UNDERSTANDING YOUR NEEDS

It is a critical first step. Take the time to truly understand and reflect. Make notes.

Then….
Find ways to practice saying these needs out loud with safe people at the right times
And pay attention to the results. How did it feel ? What was their feedback? What was happening in your body? Take that information and work with that….

If you need help in the area, please reach out. I have spent a lifetime working with this personally and supporting others to do the same. It is easier than you think and it becomes a habit that will change everything in your life 🤩

In Japan, “laziness” isn’t seen as a personality flaw — it’s often a signal of exhaustion, overwhelm, or burnout.

Instead of judging yourself, try treating it like a recoverable state: start tiny (the 1% rule), build rituals that make action automatic, recharge your energy before it runs out, and create a system that supports you even on low-motivation days.

Go through the pics in Life Lessons by Boo ‘s post. Very inspiring, educational and comforting!!!!

You don’t need to do everything overnight. 😍
You just need a gentle, consistent way back to yourself. 🌿✨

PAST MISTAKES ARE LESSONS — NOT LIFE SENTENCES🥰

Give yourself some grace. Those moments you wish you could rewrite shaped you, taught you, stretched you….but they do not define who you are today. Growth often comes wrapped in discomfort, hindsight and a few hard-earned lessons.

Forgiveness starts within. When you loosen your grip on the “what ifs”, you free up space for compassion, self-respect and healing. You’re allowed to learn, evolve and move forward without dragging the past behind you.

You’re human. And you are worthy of your own kindness…especially from yourself. 💛

BEING HIGHLY SENSITIVE IS NOT A FLAW — IT’S A NERVOUS SYSTEM AND PERSONALITY TRAIT

Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) are wired to process the world deeply. That means strong empathy, rich inner reflection, heightened emotional responses and an ability to notice subtleties others often miss. It’s not that you are “too much” or the world is “too much”….it’s that more information is coming in for HSP’s all at once. That often causes understandable OVERWHELM 😩

With that depth can come overstimulation, emotional exhaustion and a genuine need for quiet, alone time to reset. HSPs aren’t avoiding life 💁🏻‍♀️ they’re regulating their nervous system. Rest, boundaries and gentle pacing aren’t indulgences here; they’re essential maintenance. Think of it as charging the battery, not switching off.

When understood and supported, sensitivity becomes a strength ✨ It it a super power that others envy filled with insight, compassion, creativity and deep connection. If this resonates, you’re not broken… you’re beautifully attuned. 💗

You can forgive people without letting them back into your life. It can be helpful
for your health & wellbeing when the timing is right for you (Spoiler alert, it may never be !) and it all happens on your terms.

doesn’t mean a reentry and possibly being retraumatised and disregulation.

It simply means that the apology can be accepted, but access to you is denied. 🩷

Q: Do you need help to come to terms with things ? I can support you with this 💁🏻‍♀️
