Let's start with...
Why giving a "maybe" instead of a truthful NO to situations, requests, experiences and people who did not feel good, led me to painful situations to show me I was off track from my true essence.
✨✨Not having clear boundaries in every area of our life leads us to pinch ourselves off from being aligned with source. ✨✨
For decades, my human excuse had been "I don't want to hurt their feelings," while I was hurting myself deeply every time I gave a hesitant YES or MAYBE when I should have said NO. Since childhood, I had no clarity or awareness about what boundaries look like, feel like, and actually are in my life. I didn't grow up with conscious role models when it came to self-love, boundaries, creative language, conscious communication and meaningful relationships.
In my journey of Self Love, Sexual Alchemy and Self Mastery, several years ago I started to recognize manipulation energies from those who started asking me to do things that were not in alignment with who I am and my life purpose. In this transformational journey of recognizing manipulative energies, I started searching deeply within by asking myself these questions:
What aspects of me were attracting such situations?
Why did I feel manipulated?
What was I doing or saying that was attracting these experiences?
The answer was clear,
- I was saying "MAYBE" instead of NO all the time.
- I was giving energy, time, money, wisdom and/or other resources when it didn't feel good, while those on the receiving side manipulated stories for me to feel responsible for their life and well-being.
- I would do things to please others because I didn't believe I was good enough.
- I would believe I didn't have a way out from being emotionally and physically abused unless I complied with the abuser’s emotional demands.
- And when I started saying NO, I was not clear, confident and secure about my NO because I was fearful people will reject me, abandon me, and replace me ~ so energetically I was sending mixed-up subconscious messages to the universe and tolerating manipulation.
- I put people on pedestals believing they were greater than me, above me, and smarter than me, and in my mind I had to prove myself to them that I had what it takes to be loved, make the money I desired, and live my dreams.
