What does it look like to be team YOU?

This video is for anyone who’s working on overcoming people pleasing, wants to stop overgiving, or just needs help understanding when they are and aren’t on their own side.

This is the Daily Dose of Dawn at Dawn, number 115 — videos designed to expand your thinking.

Why do we want to learn this?

Because being taken advantage of can sneak up on you, especially if service is one of your love languages.

The simple little test that I’m going to share with you will help you stay on your own side.

How did this come into my awareness?

I’ve been doing a marketing campaign to help people see what it looks like when they’re not on their own side.

Because it wasn’t until I wrote my book, which was originally called The Encouragement Challenge, that I realized I had not been on my own side.

I knew I didn’t feel encouraged.

I knew I didn’t feel like I had people in my life that were encouraging me.

And that was my focus.

And through putting the Encouragement Challenge together and viewing the results of the participants who went through the challenge, I realized it was really just that I wasn’t on my own side.

You can’t fix it if you don’t know that it’s broken.

So if you’ve seen those posts and you see your behavior in them, that’s your body’s alarm system saying, “Do something to get on your own side.”

A quick resource if you need help liking yourself

If you need help liking yourself, I put together a little ebook.

I printed it out — look, it’s so cute.

A little 22-page ebook with a nice big 16-point font to help you like yourself.

It goes over some of the reasons why people don’t like themselves, why I didn’t like myself for 35 years, and what you can do about it.

It’s a free download - see below.

Just pop in your info and you can read it right away.

A simple check-in for reformed people pleasers

As a reformed people pleaser, I can tell you — overgiving really can sneak up on you.

I created a little framework to help me check in with myself, and I wanted to share it with you today.

So when someone asks you to do something, run through this to make sure you’re being Team You and not a doormat.

First: It includes you.

You benefit from it in one way or another — feeling good about doing it, getting paid, getting appreciation from someone, etc.

Second: It doesn’t disregard you.

You’re not hurting yourself to do it, like missing sleep, losing money, or being taken for granted.

Third: You’re not entirely sure — and that’s okay.

Being on your own side doesn’t mean you always know what to do. It means you pause to think about it.

Choosing what feels right in the moment is a lot easier when you’ve at least considered yourself first as a rule rather than an afterthought.

It’s not “What’s in it for me?”

It’s “Did I at least take myself, my wants, and my needs into consideration?”
