BITS ‘N’ PIECES

Be the blessing other people count on and you’ll be blessed. The opportunities are endless. For example:

• Give someone your time
• Listen to someone talk
• Feed someone by making a meal or paying for one or simply sharing it
• Pray for someone whether they are aware or not

Talk to yourself as if you would talk to…

• A stranger – “Would you like me to help you with that?”
• A child – “It’s ok to be sad. I am here for you. I won’t leave you alone.”
• Your best friend – “You rock! I am so proud of you. You deserve the best.”
• Your favourite treat – “You are worth every single dollar I invest in you.”
• The sun – “You light up my day and warm my soul.”
• Your pet – “You are the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.”
• You deserve the same love and understanding that you feel others do.

Signs you are a people pleaser

• You find it hard to say ‘no’ and feel guilty when you do.
• You feel responsible for other people’s happiness.
• You pretend to agree with everyone, even if you disagree.
• You put other people’s needs before your own.
• You find yourself apologizing excessively.
• You go to extreme lengths to avoid conflict.
• You rely on other people’s validation to feel good about yourself.
• You are dependent on others to take care of your emotional needs.
