THE NICENESS CAGE
Are you living by the inaccurate formula:
If I please others then… they will like me, love me, shower me with approval and do what I want them to do?
This belief keeps you stuck in the ‘niceness cage’. Your thinking generates the urge to look for external validation which creates a trap for yourself. Getting you stuck in a people pleasing mood.
By knowing what you want, what your limits are and practising communicating this clearly to others supports you in building strong relationships.
Learning how to say ‘no’ is one of the kindest things you can do in the long run for yourself and those you love.
