For most of my adult life I was operating from a fawn response…
I prioritised the comfort of others over expressing my truth,
I avoided difficult conversations at all costs,
I felt immobilised by the fear of judgement,
I did things I didn’t want to so people would like me,
I couldn’t have fun unless I was drunk,
I was living my life to please others… and I felt emotionally, mentally, physically & spiritually drained. 😮💨
I learned that being a people pleaser wasn’t “just who I am”,
it was a coping mechanism that I developed as a child to keep myself safe,
and it was keeping me stuck living a life in the shadows. ☠️
5 years ago I decided to take the nesseary steps to change my behaviours and break the cycles of self abandonment I kept finding myself in…
And I completely reinvented myself and elevated my life. ❤️🔥
It’s been the most challenging thing I’ve done, but damn it’s been worth it! 🔥
🦋 p.s follow if you’re done living in the shadows and you’re ready to reinvent your life!
