Published: Dec. 19, 2016, 8 a.m.

I recently had 2 People Pleaser relapses.\xa0One was just for a day.\xa0One was for a couple months.\xa0Why is it so hard to stop pleasing all. the. people???\n\xa0\nI know that as an Upholder (see article below), being a people pleaser may well be something I always struggle with.\xa0But, even if it\u2019s a life long challenge, I will kick off 2017 recognizing where I fell short in 2016.\xa0I will recognize what I lost by prioritizing other peoples\u2019 needs before my own.\xa0\n\xa0\nIn 2017 I will:\n\nSay NO more\n\nSay YES less\n\nStand up for myself\n\nTune in to my body and really listen\n\nPush myself to keep firm boundaries around my time, money, space, goals\n\nStart following my intuition in terms of where I really want to go in life over the next few years\n\n\xa0\nWhat will you do to really listen to yourself and your needs as you prepare to enter a new year?\n\xa0\nLinks Mentioned:\nArticle: The Four Tendencies \u2013 What Kind of Person Are You?, by Gretchen Rubin\nLearn more about your ad choices.
