How to Stop Breaking Your Own Heart: Stop People-Pleasing, Set Boundaries, and Heal from Self-Sabotage

by Meggan Roxanne

Even if you’ve strayed miles away from where you’re meant to be, just remember that you always have the power and the capability to return home to yourself.

Love isn’t always a guarantee, even when you think it should be – especially when it comes to family, your first community, who are naturally expected to offer unconditional love and protection.

Many of us have clung to relationships that we should have let go of, looking for approval and acceptance from others, while sacrificing parts of ourselves in the process.

The universe doesn’t require us to be perfect; in fact, the universe itself is a living testament to the beauty that can be found in imperfection.

We so easily give away our freedom to experience a beautiful life, simply because we fear what others will say.

Detaching ourselves from the expectations of others is the only way we’re going to start to find ourselves – and being able to do so is a privilege that we should all embrace.

We stay in our comfort zones out of fear of the unknown

We’re scared to commit to ourselves, to embrace the solitude that’s required to achieve change. We’re anxious about how others will perceive us, about rejection, fearful of facing negative encounters. We’re embarrassed to be seen as a failure, and of having to deal with the humiliation that follows a setback.

When we allow our comfort zones to hold us captive, we essentially put limits on our human experience.

The comfort zone was never intended to be a place for us to build permanent foundations.

Self-sabotage is such a common way that we break our own hearts.
