The Messages Your Inner Child Received About People Pleasing Are Impacting Your Mind, Body, and Spirit Today.
What messages did your inner child receive about people pleasing? We often hear about how these messages affect our thoughts, but consider for a moment how they affect your body and spirit. Our MBS is undeniably connected.
Maybe it was planted that you needed to always care how others feel and you should put other people first, at all costs. Maybe people pleasing physically makes you feel butterflies in your stomach or like you want to throw up but, mentally you feel like you MUST do it to be chosen. Maybe people pleasing has disconnected you from your inner light and is causing blocks in your life
Here’s how it can impact your mind, body, and spirit today:
Mind:
Cognitive distortions like perfectionism and catastrophizing.
Persistent negative thoughts about worthiness.
Seeking approval from others by behavior
Body:
Chronic fatigue
Physical symptoms of stress and anxiety (tight jaw, racing heart, butterflies in stomach)
Physical burnout
Psychosomatic symptoms (stomachache or headache)
Spirit:
Diminished inner light
Loss of authenticity
Lack of inner fulfillment
Disconnected from guidance
If you notice any of above, you’re not alone and this is normal. Take some time to reflect on your MBS needs this week.
You can come back to the essence of who you are and connect to your power in mind, body, and spirit again. It would be an honor to support you along the way.
