Embracing and accepting that not everyone is going to like you…
Embracing and accepting that not everyone is going to like you opens the door to:
Going for the job you always wanted
Joining the cause you deeply believe in
Going on that dream trip
Saying no to the things you don’t want to do
Saying yes to the things you do
Living fully the life you want
Feeling more yourself than you ever imagined possible
It feels freaking scary to be ok with not everyone liking you, especially when you’ve been taught and conditioned to make everyone happy, to be the “good girl,” or to keep the peace.
And taking steps toward accepting and embracing the delicious thought that not everyone HAS to like you can be so freeing because you get to start living the life that YOU want.
Start by imagining what you really want in life. Picture it in glorious detail. How does it truly feel?
If you start having pushback thoughts about who wouldn’t like you if you actually had that life, ask yourself how old/what age do you feel when you think about it. Is it a younger version of yourself? If yes, what do your younger version want you to know? Can you have compassion for that part of you? What would you say to them?
Doing those two small exercises can create space for moving forward. Be patient with yourself - it’s an ongoing process to break down beliefs that have been there a long time. Over time you’ll start to realize that loving and accepting yourself and your dreams is what truly matters.
