When you\u2019re at an event and you notice that someone is clearly not having a good time, what\u2019s your reaction? If you\u2019re anything like I used to be, you would take yourself out of the fun and try and shift that person\u2019s energy, solve their problems, and ultimately, bring your own mood down. This might be a major wakeup call for some of you who don\u2019t even realize that you\u2019re doing this and fall into patterns of feeling responsible for other people\u2019s emotions. When you start to take full ownership over your own feelings and reactions, that is one of the most powerful places that you can be in. This is a lifetime practice, but I\u2019m sharing some tips on how I\u2019ve been able to implement this in my life and the major changes that I\u2019ve seen as a result of shifting out of my people-pleasing tendencies.\xa0\n \xa0\n IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:\n Why you can only be responsible for your own emotions and reactions\xa0\n What tends to happen when you try to control the energy in a room\n How to be friendly while also maintaining your boundaries\xa0\n Reflecting on why you might fall into these patterns\xa0\n Overcoming the potential discomfort that can come with this practice\xa0\n \xa0\n RESOURCES\n Thanks to Storyworth for supporting Earn Your Happy.
