Ep. 21 - People Pleasing - Journal Prompts For Those Who Seek Approval

Have you ever found yourself doing something out of character because you want people to like you? We all have. And because we all have experience with this, we all know that it usually leaves you feeling a little off.  That's because the approval you are seeking actually comes from within. 

This week’s episode is all about exploring the concept of people-pleasing. We'll be diving into how it affects our lives, how it can be a way to seek external acceptance and validation, and how we can free ourselves from this behavior.

People pleasing is often a way to seek external validation, which can be a sign of underlying feelings of insecurity or unworthiness. It's important to recognize it for what it is and let go of this way of seeking approval. Instead, we want to replace people-pleasing with an internal sense of validation that comes from within ourselves. That means trusting in yourself and your own decisions, allowing them to come from a place of self-love instead of what other people may think.

When we take the time to reflect inwardly on our own self-worth, we can start to identify situations where our actions are based on others' approval or expectations instead of our own needs.

We all have unique and valuable perspectives, and it's important to recognize that our individual experiences matter. There is no need to seek external approval or validation because your worth comes from within. No one else can give it to you—only you can provide this for yourself!

Allow yourself the freedom of being true to who you are without worrying about what others think or expect from you. Remember that everyone matters, including yourself!
