Many of us learned early on that saying no came with consequences - conflict, shame, withdrawal, disappointment. So the body adapted. Yes became safer than the risk of being misunderstood or losing connection.
But automatic yeses often come at the cost of ourselves. They pull us away from our own limits, our own needs, and the part of us that’s still waiting to be acknowledged.
This work isn’t about caring less for others.
It’s about caring for yourself with the same tenderness you offer everyone else.
