We spend a lot of time thinking about what we need to be happy—but do you ever think about what holds you back?
When I was young, I learned that an easy way to protect yourself is to pretend you don’t care—because if you don’t care, nothing can hurt you.
Instead of living in a way that reflects our own hopes, dreams, and values, we start following someone else’s playbook.
Taking time for yourself is one of the best ways to increase your sense of self-worth, so commit to it on a regular basis.
I’m slowly learning that saying no and setting strong boundaries is better for everyone. I’ve become intentional about what I commit to, and as a result, I bring my best self to the table when I do.
I encourage you to take a long look at the goals you’re striving for. Ask yourself, why am I doing this, and who am I doing this for?
