The Party On Podcast: Finding The Joy In The Middle Of Life's Chaos

Have you ever said yes when you really wanted to say no? Do you find yourself over-giving, always putting other people first, managing other people's emotions, always "going with the flow" and never speaking up for yourself?

In this episode we are talking about people pleasing, why we do it, why it's so hard to quit, and some ways that we can start to change our patterns.

Episode Notes... (practice awareness)

Step One: Practice the PAUSE. Start to notice when you are saying yes on autopilot. And ask yourself: "Do I actually want to do this? Or am I doing this because I feel obligated"

Step Two: Understand that it's OKAY to disappoint other people. You WILL disappoint other people, especially when you are changing your patterns. You have to remember that disappointing other people is not an emergency.

Step Three: Practice tiny acts of honesty. Speak up about the little things. What you want to do, what you want to eat...practice making your needs equal to everyone else's. YOU MATTER. So be honest

Journal Prompts:

1. How do you feel like people pleasing has affected your life?
2. When do you think your people pleasing patterns began?
3. What would your life look like if you started putting yourself first?
4. What am I most afraid of, by letting go of pleasing others?

It's completely human to worry about what other people think of us. But what happens when we over-worry, or hyper focus on it? What does that do to our sense of self and how can we get past it in a world that is so outwardly focused? It seems that doing anything these days, puts us in front of others who might criticize, judge, or dislike us. The key is learning how to care less about others' opinions and more about our own. And this week we are talking about HOW.
