People pleasing.
It feels like the right thing to do, but it’s a curse.
It forces us to give up who we are in order to be who others want us to be.
We shut down our hearts, lose our voice, and forget what’s important to us, what brings us joy, and what lights us up… we try to be who we think others want us to be.
Then one day we wake up and no longer remember how to play, we aren’t passionate, and we don’t know who we are.
Just for today, let’s dig in and connect with who we used to be before we forgot who we are.
Let’s try to be as much of ourselves as possible.
Don’t worry if you don’t get it right, if what comes out is awkward and unpolished, or if you aren’t perfect.
Finding our true self is a journey, and sometimes it’s a bit messy.
But it’s one of the most beautiful messes to be a part of.
