We all strive to be accepted and often the easiest way to acceptance will seem to be pleasing others and keeping the peace. People pleasing is different from generosity or balanced give and take because it is rooted in little to no boundaries and feelings of guilt or selfishness when someone isn’t satisfied with our giving.

Let’s see how we can overcome people pleasing and reestablish our boundaries to better serve us and elevate our standards.
