Good girls are supposed to be happy. They aren’t supposed to speak up or ruffle any feathers. Good girls do as they are told.
That becomes our inner dialogue.
“You should be happy right now.”
“You got what you asked for.”
“You caused this.”
These are the lies we tell ourselves to make sure we are good girls.
We stop honouring our journey, our emotional selves, and our feelings because we “shouldn’t” be feeling this way.
And in doing so we lose our power and we don’t give others the chance to find clarity in their life – because we never offer them resistance.
You are not bad because you made someone else uncomfortable. You are not responsible for other people’s feelings.
You can be a good person without falling into the trap of trying to be a good girl.
But it takes some work to separate the two.
