Overgiving can quietly turn into self-abandonment. In this Daily Dose of Dawn, Dawn Super explains how shifting from rescuing others to being a steady lighthouse helps protect your energy, strengthen boundaries, and support others without losing yourself.

How I stopped over-giving, out of balance giving and being a doormat.

Helpers, people-pleasers, givers, caregivers, healers – this one is for you.

When giving feels like… giving in, giving up, being taken advantage of, being used – it doesn’t feel good.

Sometimes we get stuck in that space. If that’s you right now, keep working on it – some lessons in life take us awhile to learn & you will find them repeating in everyone you meet until you do.

Try strategies until you find the one that works. Dig deep into personal growth content (I have 200+ vids) or schedule a strategy session with me.

Sometimes we give so much to a person that we have nothing left for ourselves… or we get co-dependent… but, we can save ourselves!

Turning this around is an act of self-love. A gift that will reward you forevr

Here are two quick mindset phrases that helped me:

1. Don’t be a doormat. Just repeating that to myself helped me remember not to say yes when I needed to say no.

2. I’m throwing you a lifeline, not an anchor. As a ‘lighthouse’ you shine brightly as an example for others to save themselves. As a ‘life preserver’ you’re wading into their storm, risking your own ‘safety’ and risk them leaning on you so hard that they become anchor & you both drown. Or that you feel so responsible for them the weight has you drown yourself.

Be a lighthouse, not a life-preserver.
