Speak your truth

I’m a recovering “people pleaser.”  I used to believe I always had to have my poop in a group … that I couldn’t go out in public without putting on a brave face, even when I was suffering inside.

BUT, that has all gone by the wayside.  I’m not trying to say that I’m 100% myself all the time, but what I am saying is that I have given myself permission to be fallible, to be a mess and to show that part of myself to more and more of the people around me.

And who knows, maybe when I speak my truth and show my Authentic Self, the people around me (most importantly, my children) will know that it’s okay for them to be less than perfect too.  We’re all in this together, so maybe we can show up as ourselves and start making this world better one truth at a time.  I’m in.  Are you?

Question:  Are you, or have you been, known to be a people pleaser?

Food For Thought:  Do you speak your truth (that voice that is deep down inside of your heart)?

Challenge:  What if today you decided to say “no” to something your heart doesn’t want to do, and to say “yes” to something you’ve really been wanting to do?  What if you chose your own heart first?
