#73 Are You a People Pleaser‪?‬ Lives of Courage with Jessica Stong

    • Education

People pleasing is a pattern of behavior in which you do everything to try to get someone to be pleased with you. To like you. To not feel negative emotion about you.

But sweet friends, I’m here to say that we can NOT please other people.

You can’t control other people’s thoughts or emotions, even if they think you do. Their thoughts create their feelings. And just because they don’t know that their thoughts create their feelings, doesn’t mean you are creating their feelings or have any impact on their feelings.

Whatever their brain is telling you, whatever story you’ve created, you don’t cause other people’s emotions. Today's episode is all about identifying when you're trying to please others, and how to review and reframe your thoughts instead.
