People Pleasing

When you try to make everyone around you happy, then you have no time for yourself.  Don't mix this up with your employer or government services, because making those people happy can create incredible benefits for you, but that usually includes "just following the rules".

This version is when someone is angry with us, or we crave something or someone more than we care about ourself.  It's when we put ourself in danger, lie, cheat, have an eating or sexual disorder, put ourself down, to say "YES" when we don't mean it, or are cruel to others, all this just to make someone else happy with us. We crave their accolades, and we feel bad because we can't get them from anyone else.  We don't mind being manipulated through evil intent, lowering our own standards!!  This opens us up to addictive behaviors.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us that it's okay to fail, to disappoint people, to say "NO", and if we focus on the Lord we will receive the power and acceptance from Him, so necessary to be free.
