learn how to pour positivity into yourself

The majority of my life has been me placing the emotions and feelings of others over mine. I would internalize what was happening around me or to me, and I would struggle to express how I felt and just trapped it all inside. I subjected myself to treatment that I did not deserve. All because I was trying to be the person that I felt that other people deserved. I also assumed that people would shift how they treated me IF I continued to treat them well. Boy, was I wrong.

Life has taught me this valuable lesson. We are too expectant of other people to do our jobs for us. We expect others to make us feel valued, worthy, and happy. I’ve learned that this is unfair habit that many of us have.. It’s not only unfair to the individual that we are putting this pressure on, but its also unfair to ourselves.
