“No,” Is A Complete Sentence

I hear a lot of people talking about how their kindness and generosity gets taken advantage of.

Here’s the thing. People treat you the way you allow them to treat you. You teach them how to treat you by what you put up with and how far you’re willing to bend over backwards for them at your own expense.

If you find yourself complaining all the time about being taken advantage of, ask yourself what you have taught people about how to treat you.

If you don’t like being taken advantage of (who does?) put an end to it.

“No,” is a complete sentence. If you want to say more than that, you could say something like, “I’m unable to help you at this time. I need to take care of my own stuff.”

That’s not being selfish. That’s not being hateful. That’s self-care.

That’s respecting yourself and your boundaries. That’s self love.

And it’s empowering.

So, are you going to keep complaining, or are you going to set boundaries?

If you are unsure how to do this, I can help you. Send me a message. Let’s talk. No sales pitch. No pressure. Just connection. Are you ready to learn how to reclaim your life?

Acceptance

When we accept what has happened to us, forgive those who hurt us (including ourselves), and find gratitude for the experience, we are left with Love.

You are not defined by what has happened in your life. Those events are but chapters in a much longer story. Turn the page.

Healing is not easy. It’s much easier to sit in the bitterness … on the face of it. But that bitterness causes us to miss out on so much of life.

I sat in the bitterness and despair for years. I sat there for so long I forgot who I really am. I was angry, defensive, depressed, and lonely.

And then I realized that the only way anyone could even begin to help me find my way out was for me to WANT to get out.

I allowed myself to be vulnerable and accept the help, advice, and wisdom that was offered by some amazing people. And I reclaimed my identity, my life, and my happiness.

You can do that too, if you’re ready. PM me … let’s chat. No sales pitch. Just a chat. Are you ready?
