Notice how often you apologize when you haven’t actually done anything wrong.

Yes. Stop saying you’re sorry.

Okay, before you come for me...

If you actually hurt someone, make a mistake, or do something that warrants an apology, YES. Give a real apology and take accountability.

But that’s not what I’m talking about.

I’m talking about apologizing for taking up space.

“I’m sorry to bother you.”
“I’m sorry I have a question.”
“I’m sorry my house is a mess.”
“I’m sorry I can’t make it.”
“I’m sorry I need more time.”

For a lot of people pleasers, “I’m sorry” becomes automatic.

It can be a way of softening yourself, avoiding disapproval, keeping the peace, or making sure no one is upset with you.

So try something different.

Change “I’m sorry” to “thank you,” “I appreciate that,” or “I’m happy you’re here.”

It shifts the entire energy of the conversation.

And if you’re a recovering people pleaser, pay attention to how often you say “I’m sorry” this week when you haven’t actually done anything wrong.

You might be surprised.

This is one small step toward reversing the people-pleasing patterns you may have been carrying for years.

Save this and try it for the next 7 days. 🤍

Emotional abuse doesn’t only affect your emotions.

Living for months or years in fear, hypervigilance, unpredictability, criticism, or chronic stress can repeatedly activate the body’s stress response.

Over time, chronic stress can impact the nervous system, stress hormones, immune function, inflammation, sleep, digestion, blood pressure and more.

Research on intimate partner violence and psychological abuse has found associations with physical concerns including chronic pain, fatigue, headaches and migraines, digestive problems, sleep issues and cardiovascular concerns.

This doesn’t mean emotional abuse causes every health condition. But what happens emotionally can have very real effects on the body.

Your mental, emotional and physical health are connected.

Sometimes the thing that triggers you isn’t really about what’s happening in that moment.

A change in someone’s tone.
A text that goes unanswered.
Someone being upset with you.
Having to say no or set a boundary.

Your reaction can feel bigger than the situation because your mind and body may be responding to something they’ve learned from the past.

Especially after a toxic or emotionally abusive relationship, certain reactions can stick around long after the relationship has ended.

Instead of asking, “Why am I like this?” try asking:

“What might this reaction be showing me that still needs my attention?”

Awareness is often the first step in changing the patterns you no longer need.

Save this post so you can come back to it the next time you notice yourself getting triggered. 🤍

I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE GRANDMA, GRANDPA, AUNTIE OR UNCLE. MY CHILD DOESN’T OWE YOU A HUG.

A lot of us grew up hearing, “Go give them a hug. Don’t be rude.” Even when we didn’t want to, refusing somehow became disrespectful..

In our house, I’ll teach my children to greet people, use their manners and treat family with respect. But if they don’t want to hug or kiss someone, I’m not forcing their body to say yes after they already said no.

Call it disrespectful. Call it making children too sensitive. I’d rather deal with an offended adult than teach my child that keeping an adult comfortable matters more than their own boundaries.

Respect can be taught without teaching forced affection. ✍🏼

What if some of the things you’ve always called your “personality” are actually learned patterns?

Overthinking can come from trying to anticipate what might go wrong.

Perfectionism can develop when mistakes didn’t feel safe.

Being really good at reading people can come from constantly watching someone’s mood, tone or reactions.

Hating disappointing people can come from learning to keep everyone happy.

Being fiercely independent can develop when relying on others didn’t feel safe.

And being “too sensitive” may be something you were told so often that you started believing it.

Not everything you learned about yourself is necessarily who you are.

This is a big part of what I teach my clients: identifying the beliefs and patterns underneath our behaviors so we can begin changing the ones that no longer serve us.

Follow along. I’ll be sharing more about this. 🤍
