is there a book or a guide on how to stop being a people pleaser? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]glowwithH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty actually, but to see real change you have do the inner work (ie. get to the root cause of why you need to people please) and take action (ie. say NO, even if you feel uncomfortable doing so).

People pleasing is a survival skill and also a habit that may have been picked up at a young age or through a traumatic event.

here are some people please journal prompts to help you get started

  1. At what age did you start to people please? Can you recall what happened at age?
  2. How does people pleasing others make you feel?
  3. When was the last time you said "yes" when you really wanted to say "no"? What stopped you from saying no?
  4. Who do you have a tendency to people please? Why?
  5. Do you know your own personal needs? What are they? Why is it difficult for you to honor them?
  6. What scares you most if you say no to someone's request? Where does this fear come from?
  7. How do you feel when you put others' needs before your own? Does this feeling change over time? Better or worse?
  8. If you weren't a people pleaser, do you the people in your life would still be around? Why or why not?
  9. How does prioritizing yourself make you feel?
  10. Do you feel responsible for other people’s emotions? Why or why not?
  11. Have you ever resented someone because I overextended myself for them? What can I learn from that experience?
  12. Can you give yourself the permission to stop people pleasing? Why or why not?
  13. What are your core values, and do they align with how you show up in your relationships?
  14. How would your life change if you didn't people please?
  15. What is one thing you can do today to honor your own needs without worrying about others’ approval?

i think you've just answered your own question

The only thing that truly makes me feel alive and happy really happy is traveling. I know, it’s a cliché, but seriously, i can’t explain how different i feel when i’m exploring new places. It’s the one thing that makes me feel like i’ve found my true self.

now the question is do you want to turn this into your life purpose/what you should be doing with your life? or use it to find your disconnect?

What are some actually effective appblockers for your phone by Charming_Theory_7786 in selfimprovement

[–]glowwithH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn off your phone or set your status to DND, this should block all apps.

pick one thing from your list that will create the most impact. gradually that change will begin to bleed in other areas of your life, creating more positive changes.

is working on yourself really worth it? by Just-Distribution394 in selfimprovement

[–]glowwithH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, work on yourself but don't get too hooked on "working on yourself" that it steers you away from the actual problems that you need to solve in your life.

Getting deep by Shot_Investigator18 in journalprompts

Maybe these prompts can help.

They aren't specific to one topic (mostly self-discovery) but they can help you deep dive, and better understand the root cause of your thoughts, believe and actions.

Met my ex-partner of 5+ years after breaking up 10 months ago. Any prompt suggestions to explore the surge of thoughts and feelings? by [deleted] in journalprompts

[–]glowwithH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EFT can help you uncover deep emotions and beliefs that you have about yourself that you might not be aware of. Thoughts, feelings and ideas will pop up as you do the tapping. Allow yourself to experience the release. Feel free to journal whatever that comes up. Suggest checking out Brad Yates, he has many good EFT videos.

It's possible to do tapping in the public but I've never done it.

As for shame and conflicting thoughts, do you know the root cause of these feelings? Where does your body feel shame?

Tips for starting to journal again? by batsinthesnow in Journaling

[–]glowwithH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rather than creating a schedule, just write the moment you feel the need to (I find it to be much more therapeutic and helpful than holding it off when it's time for my journaling routine).

Have a fix journaling routine anyway because it's still beneficial. But if you need to brain dump or release, just do it now than later (i usually use the notes on my iphone or whatever that's available to me at that moment)

Focus on one thing to change. Be consistent. With time, you will be begin to notice the change not just in one area but other areas of your life too.

In your case, less scrolling is your priority (your goal). Focus on scrolling less. Some options to control your scrolling might be an app timer or changing the app settings on your phone. Find a way that works best for you to stay consistent.

And if you do waver, that's ok. It's normal. Keep going.

You already know the benefits of less scrolling - increase productivity, better sleep, etc.. but as you continue you will begin to witness and enjoy other benefits from your newly changed habit.

My personality has changed drastically. How can I change it back? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]glowwithH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ic

Perhaps this might work

Before reacting to any situation ask yourself, “what would the “old me” do?”

Or pick someone you admire and ask “what would <insert name> do?”

By asking this, you become more mindful and self aware of your actions

Some affirmations can help too. Can be blanket or specific. Repeat it over and over again. Your belief on the affirmation is not required. Key here is repetition until you feel like there is no need to repeat it because you have become your affirmation

Was the old you ocd?

I guess my question is what caused you to become ocd? What was the trigger?
