When I began my own journey to be stronger in my heart, mind and body, I needed a great deal of help to understand what healthy assertiveness looked like in real life. I may have looked assertive on the outside, but I often found myself feeling timid and afraid to say what I wanted or needed to say, even within my own family. Little Miss People Pleaser became Little Miss Husband Pleaser, Little Miss Children Pleaser, and even Little Miss Church Lady Pleaser.
I didn’t want to be rejected or misunderstood or left out.
I wanted everyone to be happy, even at the cost of my own emotional health.
