Codependence sells, but we don’t have to buy.
With the help of a simple seven word sentence, we stand up for our boundaries proactively and prolifically.
Instead of slavishly catering to anyone who will notice us, we simply say, excuse me, I need to leave now.
Instead of feeling guilty unless we say yes to everything that everyone expects of us, we simply say, excuse me, I need to leave now.
Instead of being scared to walk away from people or situations that cause us discomfort, we simply say, excuse me, I need to leave now.
Instead of instantly agreeing to unsafe and unreasonable invitations, we simply say, excuse me, I need to leave now.
Instead of always being the ones who must run to meet life with a smile that says, I’m happy to be here, we simply say, excuse me, I need to leave now.
Instead of saying, okay, well, just this once, and then drowning in the feeling of being invaded, we simply say, excuse me, I need to leave now.
And the best part is, when we say these seven magic words, we don’t have to explain or justify our feelings to anyone. We are not responsible for convincing the world of what we believe to be true. And it’s not our job to help everyone understand us.
We simply walk away and remove ourselves.
And now if you’ll excuse me, I need to leave now.
LET ME ASK YA THIS...
If there’s no pleasing these people anyway, then why are we knocking ourselves out attempting to try?
