@doxiedaily: Sometimes healing doesn’t look like becoming more obedient. Sometimes it looks like realizing the rules you’ve been following were never working for you in the first place. A lot of people spend their lives trying to: • avoid disappointing others • avoid being judged • avoid making mistakes • avoid taking up too much space Until one day they realize they’ve built a life around “shoulds”… and lost connection with what actually feels right for them. That’s the tricky part about people-pleasing and chronic self-monitoring: your nervous system can confuse approval with safety. So you follow the cones perfectly… even when the path makes no sense for you. Healthy growth isn’t about rebelling against everything. It’s about learning the difference between: ✨ impulsive reactions vs ✨ intentional choices aligned with your values. Playing by your own rules doesn’t mean becoming selfish or inconsiderate. It means: • trusting yourself more • tolerating disapproval without collapsing • making decisions based on values instead of fear • allowing authenticity to matter as much as acceptance And honestly? Sometimes the dachshund knocking down all the cones is the happiest one on the field. 😂 I have a long hair dachshund that looks exactly like this one, and she would completely agree 🤣 ❤️‍🩹 If love, anxiety, or people-pleasing are exhausting you, professional help can help you reconnect with yourself. 👉 Sessions in English & Español | book a free discovery call from my profile #therapy #therapist #relationships #anxiety #peoplepleasing
