3 Tips to Stop People Pleasing (Boundaries vs. Rules Explained)

from Travel & Transformation

Saying yes when you want to say no isn't kindness, it's a pattern. And it's costing you your time, your trust in yourself, and your own needs. Today I'm breaking that pattern down.Because it's been a summer of reschedules on my end, you're hearing from me solo today, and I'm giving you three tips for overcoming people pleasing that go beyond just "learn to say no."In this episode, I walk through how to actually catch yourself mid people-please, the real difference between a boundary and a rule, and why most people pleasers have completely lost touch with their own needs. I also get into why constant apologizing is quietly wrecking your credibility.If you've ever said yes and immediately regretted it, or you're the "strong one" nobody checks on, this one's for you.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Recognizing people pleasing in the moment: the pause before the yesWhy letting your yeses mean yes and your nos mean no builds trust with others and with yourselfThe real difference between a boundary and a ruleHow to identify your own needs after years of putting them lastGiving yourself permission to rest without earning it firstBonus tip: why over-apologizing undermines the apologies that actually matterBEST MOMENTS:"Let your yeses truly be yeses and let your nos truly be nos.""You don't have to earn rest.""If you can apologize and then change that behavior, your apology is genuine, and that builds trust."Connect with SophiaWebsite |  www.thereikihealingcoach.com Instagram | @sophia_i_got_igInstagram | @createlifeyourwayFacebook | www.facebook.com/sophia.e.754LinkedIn | Sophia Elcock Hosted on Acast.
