“No one asked for your help” Less than 1 month ago (though, it feels much longer) I was triggered by this statement. With the follow up question: “Who would you be if you weren’t helping?” I realized I was still trying to people please better known as: “Win my mother’s love” A losing battle, I’m aware. I don’t want to come from this place of “lack” or from needing external validation. I had to cut cords with quite a few people in my life that I realized I had created co-dependent relationships. I helped them and therefore they depended on me in some way and I felt valuable, purposeful and loved. I now needed to find my own way of feeling loved, finding what made me happy, what made me feel excited and fun?! I have been people pleasing for so long that I didn’t even realize how much energy was spent “fixing” other people and NOT on loving myself, NOT on finding my own joy, NOT on being, just being. I love to read. I love to write. I love to meditate. I love to travel. I love deep conversations. I love personal development. I love learning. I love naps. I love Jacuzzis’. I love the beach. I love my cat. I love my bed. I love long walks. I love camping and hiking. I love taking care of me. I plan to do more of this. I know I’m here to help people. I know I have a purpose. I know I have value. I know I’m worthy. I know I’m loveable. I want to be a full and overflowing cup from which to give/serve others. Thank you for your patience as I’m under construction. #coach_Izabelle #growth #selflove #selfcare#underconstruction
