Take a moment to just arrive here allowing yourself to slow everything down as we set this intention to release people-pleasing through affirmations,
Mantras to yourself Take a slow deep breath.
Beginning this by actually giving yourself permission to go slow.
Often when we're people pleasing we race based on the other person's time frame if we feel like they want us to go faster or get things done and we often don't actually give ourselves permission to say hey i need to go slow i'm going to stay grounded in my energy and this is the pace I need to go at.
Allowing yourself to simply absorb these affirmations today i do not need to please everyone for i cannot possibly please everyone I do not need to make everyone happy I do not need to manage how other people feel.
I do not need to anticipate what everyone needs from me.
I do not need to scan the room for who might be unhappy with me I do not need to change myself to keep the peace today i do not need to fawn I do not need to become smaller I do not need to become more agreeable for none of those things actually work.
And they don't work for me day I'm allowed to stay in my own energy field.
I can stay connected to myself when I'm around other people I can remain in my own energy field without collapsing,
Fawning or pleasing I can listen to what's true for me and stay connected to myself Today I do not need to automatically say yes.
I'm allowed to take my time before answering I can say no.
I can change my mind.
I can have preferences.
I can have needs.
I can have limits.
For all of those things are allowed as human and it's my right as a human to hold they I do not need to explain myself endlessly.
I don't need to make my choices acceptable for everyone.
Others will cope.
To dare remember my job is not to please people for they are responsible for themselves.
My job is to be honest with myself.
To not abandon my own needs?
I allow other people's feelings to belong to them.
I allow other people's disappointment to belong to them.
I allow other people's emotions to belong to them.
I cannot control whether someone is pleased with me and I don't need to.
Someone can be disappointed and I can still be a good person.
Someone can disagree with me and I can still be safe.
I let people have their feelings,
I let people have their opinions and I can stay with myself Taking another deep breath as you soak all of that up.
Take your time to blink your eyes open if they were closed and just readjusting back to the space this beautiful intention setting for wherever you are in your day perhaps beginning your day,
Halfway through or even if you're ending your day taking this into the rest of your evening and tomorrow It takes time to really ingrain in our minds that we're not responsible for others and it takes time to adjust to this but in time we can absolutely start shifting this.
It just takes reminders and it takes love and compassion to ourselves.
So if you feel you now want to I'd suggest repeating this meditation if you want to listen to these affirmations as many times as you need and I'm Scarlet and I look forward to seeing you in another meditation soon.
