Stop Being A People Pleaser

The reason why people pleasers always come last, is because they always put other people's needs ahead of theirs. The fact is that such a behavior isn't sustainable without breaking your plans and aspirations for your life. Because over time, you'll lose track of your own life.

Thus, you need to take a step back and prioritize your own life first. Remember, it's only the person who has truly taken care of himself, that can take care of someone else properly. If you're constantly neglecting yourself, soon you may not have the energy to help anyone else.

Redirect your focus to yourself. Learning to say no when necessary - if someone wants you to do something that will take your time and energy and it doesn't provide you with any benefits, then simply decline. If you can't find any other words - just tell them 'no'.

By saying no to things that don't fit into your plans for your day and life, you start to take control of your life. And you use your time and your energies to make your dreams into a reality. Unfortunately, most people pleasers please others until they're drained completely.

Note, anybody who really cares about you, won't want you to always be sacrificing yourself for them, without giving you any returns. If someone always wants you to please them and do all they want always - this may be a sign that you should distance yourself from such a person, as they don't have your best interest in mind.
