Four Simple Ways to Stop People Pleasing


Are you tired of constantly saying yes to others, even when it means sacrificing your own needs and desires? People pleasing may seem like a nice gesture, but it can ultimately leave you feeling drained and unfulfilled. Learning to say no and prioritize your own needs and what God calls you to do are crucial for your mental health and well-being. 

Here are four simple ways to stop people-pleasing: 

Set Boundaries: Setting boundaries is a crucial step in stopping people pleasing. Learn to say no when you need to, and let others know your limits. It’s okay to say no, and it’s okay to put yourself first. 

Practice Mindfulness: Taking time for yourself and tuning in to your own thoughts and feelings can help you identify when you’re people-pleasing. Mindfulness can help you be more present in the moment and recognize when you’re putting others’ needs before your own. 

Identify Your Values: Knowing your own values can also help you prioritize your needs. When we’re clear on what we value most, it’s easier to make decisions that align with those values. 

Focus on Your Own Happiness: Finally, remember that you’re the only one responsible for your own happiness. It’s okay to prioritize your own needs and desires, and it’s important to do so for your own well-being. Like they say, you cannot pour from an empty cup. Always remember to seek the Lord to see what things He wants you to accept or reject. Be flexible. 

By setting boundaries, practicing mindfulness, identifying your values, and focusing on your own happiness, with the Lord's guidance, you can stop people pleasing and start living a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
