Have you been people pleasing your whole life and are done with it? Do you also feel a deep release when you swear? This meditation might be the 5 and a half minutes you need to release some anger and able to walk through the rest of your day knowing you are not alone and are supported.

Transcript

I invite you to become present in this moment and allow yourself to be here for the next five minutes.

Take a nice deep breath in and out,

Reminding yourself that you have nowhere else to be.

This is where you are meant to be for the next five minutes.

This meditation is for people pleasers,

So I want you to imagine everyone in your life that you are trying to please and take a nice deep breath in,

Thinking of all of them,

And then on the exhale,

Let all those fucking assholes go.

That said,

Inhale in,

Thinking of every single time you put those fuckers needs before yours and then exhale,

Let all that bullshit go.

Taking another nice deep inhale,

Thinking of all the times that you wanted to say no and just kept saying yes,

And then a nice deep exhale,

Pretending you see the word no in front of you and just punching right through the word no as it disappears.

Allowing your breath to become normal,

But intentional as I guide you.

I invite you to really get into the feeling of people pleasing,

Realizing how hard it has been your whole life,

Feeling like you need to please everyone around you and never getting that same energy back in return.

Really feeling into that resentment of a lifetime of people pleasing and never saying no.

Allowing yourself to recognize all of the times that you have needed praise for validation of your worth,

Bringing it all in and then giving a really nice deep exhale out,

Letting all that bullshit go.

Really feeling into how as a people pleaser,

You swallow your feelings down so deep,

Afraid to show anyone how you actually feel until you can't take it anymore and blow up on everyone.

Exhale and let all that shit go.

Really feeling into how you hate conflict and would rather sit on nails than fight with anyone.

You continue to say yes so that no one hates you,

But unfortunately you become even more unhappy taking a nice deep inhale in,

Bringing it all up to the throat chakra and giving an expressive exhale out to let all that fucking shit go.

As a people pleaser,

You are always saying sorry and fill your schedule with activities,

But constantly feel overwhelmed by them.

You agree with everyone and swallow your feelings and your words,

Feeling into all of that and noticing how it feels in your body when I say those things.

And if you feel it's true for you,

Tell that people pleaser inside of you to eat shit.

Eat shit,

People pleaser.

Eat shit.

I want you to take a nice deep inhale in,

Just thinking about how hard it has been being a people pleaser for most of your life and then letting it all go,

Knowing that you do not need to be a people pleaser forever.

This does not need to be your truth.

I want you to imagine that you start saying no,

You stop asking other people for their opinions of you and start trusting yourself and know your worth.

I want you to know how good it feels to say no and not feel obligated to set proper boundaries and learn to love yourself.

Taking three nice deep breaths in with me.

I want you to breathe in all of the negativity of being a people pleaser and then you will imagine you are removing people pleasing from your body.

Do that two more times.

Breathe in the negativity and all the crap that is people pleasing and then let all of that shit go.

That's it.

One more time,

Breathe in all the bullshit and then let it all fucking go.

All of those expectations.

You deserve so much more than being a people pleaser.

Start wiggling your toes and fingers and start coming back into the room and remember that you choose how you want to walk forward in this life.

You always hold the power.

Sarah’s meditation was so great! I love that she captures perfect the feeling and emotion of the draining experience of a people pleaser. I felt empowered and stronger and shall continue to do this meditation every day as my internal armour becomes stronger and I can carry the intention to create boundaries to protect my peace and happiness 🙏❤️

This made my day and really revealed my inner scream that I'm going to live my life on my terms and not what others expect to suit themselves. But I'll definitely have to listen to it some more as it made me laugh so much I didn't focus as much as I could have 😄

I love this guided meditation which is the best people pleasing meditation I have come across, it’s not self blaming or understanding it’s a real fuck you to that frustrated feeling. And I love the use of language it really connects to the energy to allow you to move through it.
