The people-pleasing era is over.

Set Healthy Boundaries. Impose yourself. State your needs.

Assert Yourself!

Aren’t you tired of being treated like a doormat, always putting others' needs and desires first?

Doing your housemate’s dishes again, silently seething **in the kitchen.

Providing constant emotional support to a friend who desperately needs professional help but refuses to seek it.

Funding an adult child’s lifestyle, while they make little or no attempt to sort out their own financial issues.

Accepting unacceptable requests from your boss at the expense of your family and personal time.

Even the most confident, assertive people encounter these scenarios.

Left unchecked, these situations create endless demands of our time, money and empathy.

Have you ever found yourself being told by loved ones:

• “You just need to be more assertive!”
• “You seriously have no boundaries!”
• “Why can’t you just say no?”

These may not be said this way but more subtly implied.

You may struggle with being self-assertive due to various barriers.

One of the biggest barriers is the fear of coming across as 'aggressive'.

You may also worry that you will hurt the other person's feelings, or face their anger or disapproval.

But why should their frustration be more important than your own well-being?

Is it the fear of appearing 'selfish' that holds you back?

Do you really think you’ll be rejected or disliked for standing your ground?

Many people struggle to ask for what they want out of fear that they will appear to be self-centered, domineering, or a bully.

Most of the time, the opposite is true.

Stop being taken advantage of. Right now!

Stop giving selflessly, endlessly and against your will!

You obviously have personal and professional obligations, but that doesn’t mean that you are must to go beyond that.

You are first and foremost responsible for yourself.

And you may tend to forget that.

Don’t let it happen!

You cannot restrict yourself to the role of spectator.

It might seem useful in many cases…

But is it useful to you?

Assertiveness is an act of self-care.

The Hebrew saying "If I am not for myself, then who is for me?" highlights the importance of advocating for ourselves and communicating our needs.

When we take care of ourselves, we give others permission to care for themselves as well.

Assertive communication is an act of self-care and compassion that benefits other people and most importantly: yourself:.

Honest dialogue clears up expectations in a relationship and allow both parties to solve conflict together.

Of course, some people may respond poorly regardless of how you communicate. But you need to respect your own time, your needs, and your well-being.

Many people spend years putting aside their own wants and needs in order to please the people in their life and avoid conflict.

Although there will always be situations where diplomacy is important, you cannot define your life through other people.

There's a fine line between being considerate of others and compromising your individuality, and you can slip into living as a people-pleaser without even realizing it.

Maybe you've been going through the routines of life feeling that you must keep quiet, and take responsibility for the feelings of others.

Or, maybe you think it's more important to avoid "rocking the boat" than it is to be your most authentic self.

While these habits might seem to dominate everything you do, there are actionable steps you can take to create a new world--one where you are open and confident in what you say and do.

Just like the relationships you have with others, everyone's experiences with people-pleasing are unique.

However, this individuality often stems from common roots that are keeping you trapped in the box of others' expectations.
