Trying to keep everyone happy comes at a cost, emotionally and physically.

Read more on how you can protect your peace on the blog post on my website "How to set boundaries at Christmas" - It's a complicated thing when you feel like you're trying to meet everyone's needs, and there are lots of people who find themselves feeling a little bit of dread around the holiday season.

It's a really tough one, and if that's you, it's okay to be feeling that way.

Your confidence doesn't come from having the loudest voice, it's the energy you already possess when you stop shrinking.

You've earned your space.

If you're ready to stop overthinking and start owning your calm confidence, book a free call - link in bio 😊

When you grow up feeling unseen, you learn to shrink ourselves just to keep the peace.

You don’t have to carry those old survival strategies into your adult life. You’re allowed to take up space now.

You're not changing - you're returning to yourself. The real, authentic you doesn't exist just to make others feel okay.

Save this post for when you need a remidner that outgrowing old versions of yourself is healthy - not selfish.

Feeling anxious? Need a quick reset?

I really like small tools like this that can fit into life no matter what's happening.

What about you? Are you someone who likes quick things you can do anywhere or do you prefer to carve out more time for something more intensive?

What did you think of this?

Have you ever been made to feel that your sensitivity is a weakness?

What if it's awareness?

Sessions can be used to explore whether you were told it was an inconvenience, and what you really think now.

Share this if you're done apologising for feeling deeply.

Tools to help grow your awareness of how you are feeling can be helpful - especially if you are used to pushing your own feelings down, or not voicing your own needs.

I was someone that really struggled to recognise my own feelings, or even at times realise that I even had feelings!

It can be really tricky to feel the more nuanced feelings if you've been disconnected for a long time, and this technique is a simple one to help you reconnect to how you are feeling, or connect the dots in times of high stress or overwhelm so that you can start meeting your needs in small ways.

You're not responsible for everyone's comfort.
You're allowed to feel, to disagree and to exist without fixing everything.

📌Save this post - keep it as a little reminder when you catch yourself taking the blame again

Breathe it in and repeat it if that feels helpful for you.
