Doing nice stuff for others brings inner satisfaction that can make us feel fulfilled with our lives, but some people overdo it in order to please others out of a feeling of necessity. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if you are people-pleasing or you just like being nice to someone. Often times, this can come about in relation to dieting and can be an act of self-protection. If you do find that you are a people-pleaser, then you may be compensating for something that you don’t really need to! The negative effects of this habit can show itself in many different parts of your life and start to affect your relationships with others and more importantly with yourself. Today, Whitney is going to tell you all about people-pleasing, what it looks like, and what to do if it is affecting you. People-pleasers need to hear this!

Whitney shares:

• Different ways that people-pleasing shows up in life
• Knowing the difference between being nice and people-pleasing
• Gauging the levels of anxiety in your body
• Sources of people-pleasing that stem from different points in life
• Knowing what the shame response actually represents
• Ways that unnecessary people-pleasing can hurt us and others
• Creating space for new people to walk into your life
• 10 detailed steps to take to stop your people-pleasing habits
• Establishing clear boundaries with consequences
• What to expect when going through the long process of change
• Going through the pendulum swing phase
• The messiest part of this entire process
• Continuing to have an honest dialogue with yourself
