🌼Welcome back to Motivational Monday!🙋♀️
I had several ideas for today's MM. However, this morning, I had to tell my friend I could not house & cat sit for her, even though I had already agreed last week. I was scared to admit it stressed me out, since this is a friend from the past I had JUST reconnected with! I was scared to be honest that I am still tired and need to work on my new "nest", not a week in the burbs where I feel so vulnerable (as a non-driver). I wanted her approval; I wanted to appear stronger than I am. I am a people pleaser!
However, not being honest in my needs, boundaries and who I am lead me to a miserable state in my life. Endless resentment. This is my NEW START and dammit! time to be honest with the world! If I cannot be there in the state of Love, with an open heart, I will have to say No.
I ate half a large pizza after I made that commitment to her. I haven't slept since. It was obviously NOT the right decision. I asked myself: "Isn't this the time to live your life in a honest way? Stop trying to impress her! You feel awful. A true friend will understand. She won't abandon you because you don't watch her cats. TRUST the Truth." She is totally fine with my honesty AND still loves me!!! Wooooohoooo! Please always listen to your own voice :)
Are you always honest with yourself? with others?
🤗Wishing you a week of living honestly and being true to yourself!!!!! 💖
