Are you a people pleasing person? I used to be but not anymore. I used to worry about what everyone thought of me and what people would think depending on what I would do, wear, say,etc. You get the picture. I used to seek approval for everything that I did. Maybe I didn’t come out and ask for approval but deep down I wanted it from certain people mainly my mom. I love my mom but I realized this was not healthy. It took me a long time to realize that this was unhealthy for me. I would do things to please other people and not for myself. Not anymore. I am now stress free and am no longer a people pleasing person. I’m a person that does what I want and what I think is best for me and my family. I no longer seek approval and I shouldn’t considering I am 29 years old. Of course, I do occassionally care about what others think but don’t we all?

Having children of my own has been one of the biggest things that changed me. After becoming a mom, something just changed in me and made me realize so much. Ultimately I am only responsible for how I feel and my most important job now is to raise my two little boys. I can’t do that to the best of my abilities if something is in the way. That is why I don’t waste my time on being a people pleaser. I have much more significant things to do.
