“Be Who You Are and Say What you Feel…”

I came across a great quote “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind won’t matter and those who matter won’t mind” .  In my work as a Counsellor I am so often presented with so many illogical reasons why someone can’t just be themselves and usually it is because of the mythical audience of people that they think they have to please.  Of course it is nice to please and be respectful of people – that is a given but when it becomes People Pleasing and we putting what we feel and think last that isn’t nice or emotionally healthy.  The reality is that the people who matter to us may sometimes not like what we do but they will recognise that as their view and not a judgement.  We just all need to be able to say it as not everything someone does will be ok with us.  However when we think we have to try and please others who we feel do sit in judgement of us that’s when we can lose our self.  There is another quotation  that goes something like this “Our Original Beliefs are usually those of others.  When we decide our own beliefs we are truly our own person”.  

So check in with your beliefs about yourself and the World and see if they are yours or someone elses.  And if you want some inspiration to change , below is a link to some more quotes around our self limiting and negative beliefs.
