Supporting others is your calling in life. You seem to give endlessly, but sometimes you’re left feeling stretched a bit thin, and maybe even unappreciated.For someone who loves to love others, it can be jarring and upsetting when your offerings aren’t appreciated. Resentment can sneak up on you and have you feeling irritable or worse, lead to burnout!Believe or not, resentment is a signal that you need some self care.When your love and support turned outward leaves you drained and angry, it’s time to look at your own worth and how you can align yourself to get what you want, and what you truly deserve.You see, as a loving, supportive person, it’s easy for others to take advantage of your generous heart.But why does that mean you so often have to come in last?Are you guilty of being a chronic people pleaser?Let’s tick some boxes!If you:☑️ Know that having low self-worth is a problem.☑️ Have a seriously hard time saying ‘no’☑️ Are always the first to volunteer, even if you’re too busy☑️ Struggle to make good decisions for yourself☑️ Know you deserve better but still have uncertainty☑️ Sometimes interpret feedback as criticism☑️ Feel like you can’t do anything right☑️ Get burned out and overwhelmed easily☑️Want to identify the barriers to regaining your own self worthIf you tick a few of those boxes, chances are good you could use some me time and some practice learning to say “NO”.“When you say yes to others, make sure you aren’t saying no to yourself.” — Paulo CoehloGetting To Know YouTherapy is an often misunderstood practice, and while it does involve talking about feelings, it’s more about taking a closer look inside yourself to see what really makes you tick.Don’t you want to learn more about why you do the things that you do. And how to address some of the ways you unknowingly sabotage yourself?Other than learning to Trust, let’s take a look at some of the foundations of therapy.Balance – The key to a happy life isn’t abundance and never ending chill days, it’s all about balance.The grind of day-to-day life can become a repetitive, life-sucking rut if you aren’t careful to create healthy boundaries between work, play, and the everyday.With the help of a therapist, you can delve deep into where your imbalances come in life, and how to make changes to restore a much needed life balance.Check out our online workshop on Balance and Your To-Do ListSelf-awareness – It’s easy to wander through life without much direction, reacting to the world instead of purposely creating a life.This can lead to a feeling of not being seen or heard, and always feeling like you just fit in, instead of actually belonging.When you don’t know yourself very well, it can be hard to find the right friends or job to fulfill you and challenge you into new growth.Self-Awareness is a core focus of any therapeutic journey. Check out our Online Self-Awareness Workshop to learn more about yourself, and how you can align your life with who you truly are.Self-Worth – It can be very difficult to establish and maintain boundaries that are meant to protect your peace when you’re constantly putting others before yourself.It isn’t bad to want to help others, but when your selflessness becomes a complete loss of self, it’s time to do some work on your own core values and boundaries.Learn how to show up as an advocate for yourself so you can give your loved ones empowered, resounding ‘yes’s and firm, healthy ‘no’s, without feeling guilty or selfish.
