From People-Pleasing to Personal Power: How to Find Your Authentic Voice
In the latest episode of The Mind and Soul Show, Geetika, a seasoned spiritual healer, and Sunny delved into the transformative journey from people-pleasing to self-conviction. Geetika’s wisdom shone as she shared practical insights and inspiring revelations. Here's a concise guide for coaches and professionals to incorporate these lessons into their practices.
Why People-Pleasing Happens
Fear of Disapproval: Seeking validation often stems from childhood conditioning or societal expectations.
Low Self-Worth: Believing others' opinions are more important than your own.
Avoidance of Conflict: Pleasing others is a defense mechanism to maintain peace.
"Whenever you are pleasing people, it means you are not in your authentic self, not in your true self." – Geetika
Breaking the Pattern
1. Recognize the Signs:
Inconsistent behavior across relationships.
Over-apologizing or avoiding expressing personal opinions.
2. Accept the Truth:
Acknowledge fear, rejection, or approval-seeking tendencies.
Ask yourself: "Do I truly love and value myself?"
"The challenges in your life are there to remind you that you are above all." – Geetika
3. Build Inner Conviction:
Prioritize self-care and set personal boundaries.
Reframe fear as an opportunity for growth.
Use affirmations: "I am enough, just as I am."
Rewiring Mindsets
"Take a deep breath, and as you exhale, let go of the need to seek approval."
"Each time you prioritize yourself, you step closer to your true calling."
"Feel the freedom of being true to your inner voice and embrace it fully."
