3 Signs you are letting go of People Pleasing

1. You prioritise your own needs and desires

When you stop feeling guilty about taking care of yourself and start putting your own wants and needs first, it’s a sign that you’re letting go of people pleasing. This could mean saying “no” to requests or commitments that don’t align with your values or goals, or simply taking time for self-care and self-reflection. This can also take place after the original “yes”.

2. You communicate assertively

Another sign of letting go of people pleasing is being able to communicate your thoughts, feelings, and opinions in a clear and confident manner. This doesn’t mean being aggressive or confrontational, but rather expressing yourself authentically and respectfully. A simple “no thank you” will do.

3. You don’t seek external validation

People pleasing often involves seeking approval and validation from others. When you let go of this habit, you’ll start to trust your own judgement and opinions, and won’t feel the need to constantly ask for others’ opinions or seek their approval. Instead, you’ll have a stronger sense of self-worth and feel more confident in your decisions.
