How People Pleasing Can Be Detrimental
As a recovering people-pleaser, I often don't see how detrimental are loss-win agreements. Unbalanced agreements -> resentment in me -> relationships and business projects fall apart.
Reasons for this behavior:
- My natural desire to support others
- Years of programming to sacrifice (motherhood)
- Subtle guilt from being so blessed in my life
Also, not preparing myself enough for people who don't notice or correct the imbalance.
So, my new principle is:
It is either a Win-Win or No Deal.
Anything other than Win-Win is unsustainable and outside of integrity.
