What do you put up with because you fear rejection? For years I was your Yes girl. Whatever I was asked to do, I said yes to. Even if I was not asked, I volunteered.

When I was home schooling our 7 kids, I said yes to being a Cub scout leader, Co-op teacher, and anything else I was asked to do. I barely had time for it all and it caused me much stress. Years later, I realized I was a people pleaser.

When it comes to changing habits, focusing on your identity is more powerful than focusing on the specific outcome you want to achieve.

Do you wake up each day in a bad mood and feeling unmotivated? Sometimes we fall into a slump, and it is hard to get out. We wonder why everything always happens to us. We live our lives waiting for that next bad thing to happen.
