Publisher's Synopsis
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. Or, maybe you think it's more important to avoid rocking the boat than it is to be your most authentic self.
You'll discover:
- My struggle with being a people pleaser (and how I overcame the habit!)
- The top reasons we tend to put others before us when we know we can't handle it
- Simple strategies for turning people down without feeling guilty.
- Why declining people's requests doesn't make you a bad person
- The best way to develop the habit of setting personal and professional boundaries
- How to say no to your spouse, kids, friends, neighbors, coworkers, clients, bosses, and even strangers!
Even if you were almost giving up and the spark in you that was warming you up for a better future is almost dimming out, this book will prove you that all is not lost and encourage you to face another day!
What's more; it uses an encouraging and nonjudgmental tone that will boost your resolve and conviction to stop people-pleasing and hold you by the hand until you actually make it a reality!
