I'
ve often wondered when I began to be a people pleaser and why I allowed myself to compromise my true self for the sake of others. Perhaps it was the transition into young motherhood, a desire to do what's right, that led me down the path of seeking permission from others to live my life authentically. It took me 21 years to learn some valuable lessons, and today, I'm sharing one of the most crucial ones with all of you: Stop asking for permission to live your life.
Your happiness is your responsibility and yours alone. If you have a passion or a dream, whether it's pursuing a new hobby, embarking on a different career, or making positive changes in your life, you have the power to take those first steps. Now, I understand that this isn't as simple as it may sound. Planning, communication, and asserting yourself can be challenging, especially when those around you are not accustomed to you taking charge of your own desires and needs. But it's absolutely achievable, and remember, nothing is impossible.
You may need to be adaptable and make adjustments as you embrace this new way of living. Yes, there will be resistance, and you may lose people along the way. It won't be easy, and it will be tough, but it's also liberating.
As you step out of your comfort zone and claim ownership of your happiness, here are some invaluable tips to guide you on your journey:
1. Start Small: Begin by taking small, manageable steps toward your goals. This gradual approach can make the process less daunting and more achievable.
2. Communicate Your Intentions: Let the people in your life know about your aspirations. Effective communication can help them understand your journey and may even garner their support.
3. Stay Resilient: Expect challenges and setbacks. Stay resilient and keep your eye on the bigger picture. Remember, the path to self-empowerment is a marathon, not a sprint.
4. Seek Guidance: Don't hesitate to seek guidance and mentorship from those who have walked a similar path. Learning from others' experiences can be immensely valuable.
5. Self-Care: Prioritize self-care as you pursue your dreams. Taking care of your physical and mental well-being is essential to maintain the strength and focus needed to persevere.
6. Surround Yourself with Positivity: Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. Let go of those who bring negativity or doubt into your life. It's okay to outgrow certain relationships.
7. Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. Each step forward is a victory.
8. Embrace Change: Be open to change and adaptation as you evolve on this journey. It's okay to refine your goals and dreams as you learn and grow.
9. Stay True to Yourself: Don't lose sight of who you are and what makes you unique. Your authenticity is your greatest asset.
Remember, you have the power within you to shape your destiny and find your happiness. It might not be easy, and there will be challenges, but the reward of living life on your terms is worth every effort. You've got this!
