In this episode, I cover what happens when we get emotionally attached to a situation that really doesn't serve our highest good and how people pleaser syndrome can cause others to disrespect you. If you want to get your power back, listen to this episode and take massive action to get your life back on track. You can’t put it off, you have to have difficult conversations – if you don’t you’ll continue to live a life that’s not aligned with who you are. The emotional attachment you have with the outcome of conversations you want to have can stop you from moving forward and reaching your dreams. When you create stories about what’s on the other side of a conversation you put off the challenging conversations you need to have. Your body can shut down and you feel anxious, but to be able to move forward you just have to know how to reframe the situation. What are the things that you’re doing or not doing in your life because you’re afraid of the conversation and the emotion that’s going to come up from the other person? People-Pleasing If you’re a people-pleaser it’s common for you not to want to feel the emotion of a reaction. You continue to say yes when you want to say no – you want to leave a situation but you’re afraid of the conversation because you don’t want to let people down or you think things will be bad for the person you’re moving on from. The problem is by people-pleasing and avoiding the conversations you need to have you’re stopping yourself from living the life you desire. Your body will start to remind you that what you’re doing is not in alignment with what you want. The universal slap – anxiety, depression, sadness, and worry will keep hitting you until you face up to things. Look Within The child within you can get stuck in the fear of the conversation and not wanting to deal with it emotionally. Recognize the part of you not wanting to be honest, speak your truth, or continuing to self-sabotage. Once you see that, the adult within you needs to step up and have the power to stand within the situation, feel the emotion, and understand that a conversation is just energy in motion. When you speak your truth, you’re opening yourself up to a high wave of emotion to come back at you. It may not even crash, it may gently come back to you and you might be pleasantly surprised. Close your eyes and go through a scenario in your head – feel your emotions and allow the other person to get upset with you and let your feelings wash over you. The chances are your expectations will outweigh the situation. Own Your Life Identify the reality of the situation versus what you’re thinking. You may have created a story around how it’s going to play out, but what if the opposite is true? What if you have the conversation, you step into your power, and you’re confident about doing it? What if the outcome for them is far better than what you’re fearing? Your mind is so good at convincing you that the path you’re thinking is what’s going to happen, but the majority of the time when you have the conversation and you step into our truth and own it is that you find the reaction is very different from what you anticipated. The time you spend putting off conversations pushes your happiness and peace further away into the future. Your success, growth, and happiness come from the difficult conversations you’re fearful of. Own your life because you’re willing to make decisions. Even if they’re scary.  You have a dream, there’s something you desire, a path you know you need to go down, but a part of you scared and the little inner child within you is afraid to speak up. You need to get into a powerful state, own it, and don’t put it off. Now would be a good time to have that conversation. If you wait for the perfect time, you’ll sabotage it so you avoid the conversation. Start to empower yourself with difficult conversations coming from the confident adult within you instead of your scared inner c...
