People-pleasing is not synonymous with being in service to others. 

We are living in a time when we are being asked to wake up and live life fully on our own terms. Gone are the days of people-pleasing, co-dependency and tacit acquiescence. 

Can you feel the sovereignty rising in the power centre of your 'soular' plexus? Perhaps it is a new sensation or one you have not felt in a very long time. That is your life force. It is the generative power of your creation. It is your will to live this glorious life!

You can access that power at any time BUT, you have been giving it away to people and things that are misusing it. Why wouldn't they if you've just been giving it away? Can you blame them? 

So when you're done being used as a host, enmeshed with parasitic forces and are ready to reclaim your sacred YES to your life, you'll need to learn to declare your WHOLLY NO! 

Sit up straight. Breathe deeply into your diaphragm and belly. Hand on heart, hand on navel, and declare:

I CALL ALL MY POWER BACK TO ME! 

THIS IS MY LIFE AND I DECIDE FOR ME!

So be it and so it is!

(repeat as needed and say it like you mean it!)

Boundaries equal freedom. Freedom gives you authentic expression. Set yourself FREE to BE! Please YOURSELF. CHOOSE YOURSELF!

Questions for Journaling:

What do you truly desire that you do not give yourself permission to acknowledge? 

What have you hidden away in the deepest dark corners of your mind thinking you are too unworthy to desire and claim? 

What are you yearning for? Or perhaps you have disconnected from your yearning because you don’t believe you can create and manifest it? 

What behaviour, relationship, food, substance or even emotion has you addicted, doesn’t bring you fulfillment and only causes you suffering yet you haven’t been able to break the cycle and walk away? 

Where are you stuck in patterns of over-giving and people-pleasing and the inevitable feelings of resentment when really you want authentic connection and honest relating? 

What do you perceive is standing in the way of you having what you truly desire?

Where do you need to set a boundary with yourself in the short term so you can have what you desire in the long term?
