Hey Reader,

Yes - I did it. I broke up with people-pleasing. Not doing this shit any longer!

And you should do a copywriting style pattern interrupt here as well!

Cause it makes your life miserable.

I used to be the poster child of people pleasing for my teaching job. Driving around the city and the neighboring towns, looking for parking, having no time for a proper lunch, heading back home for teaching online in between!

And all of it on my own expense of course, yea sign me up for it babes...I did it.

And then, since the government thinks freelancers and entrepreneurs are money making cash cows...half of my hourly wage went straight to the government. Because our politicians need stylists with a 800 Euro day rate of course. I'm so happy to work for this extravaganza!

I mean, what should I do with my hard-earned money myself anyways?! I have absolutely no clue cause I love that minimalist lifestyle.

Marie Kondo would be so proud of me!

It's good I figured out a way to eat nourishing food that doesn't break the bill cause the German government needs my hard-earned money more that I need it obviously. Restaurants are a luxury by now 🤷‍♀️😳

But it's ok - I have a Thermomix at home, I don't need restaurants. Welcome to the times of Thermomix socialism!

People-pleasing is expensive - and not just financially. It costs your dignity. And we don't want that, right?

And the worst part? I didn't even get what I actually wanted out of all that people-pleasing! All I got was a parking ticket and crappy sandwiches from a bakery for lunch.

Are you also guilty of people-pleasing and surviving on crappy bakery food in stressful times?

If so, how did you let go of that toxic habit? Hit reply and share with me.

xoxo

P.S. Funny how the more you people-please, the more the government thinks you're rich. Apparently kindness is taxable now - you gotta fund those 800 Euro per day stylists somehow!
