Addy

Maybe you learned that having needs was a burden. Maybe someone got annoyed or made a face and you responded by making a slight shift in your behavior. Maybe it’s not even something you notice, but pay attention now.
Listen to your self-talk.
See the subtle hints inside of you that whisper to you the truth of what you really want.
Challenge your patterns by asking for it.

The way out is in the little details of your decisions that no one sees. It’s in the “no, thanks”, “maybe another time”, and “I need some space”.

Maybe you just want a moment to breathe, but the second you think about communicating it, your heart starts to race.
That’s your nervous system’s memory of something that made you feel unsafe.
Show your body that you are safe. Listen to its cues.

You are not too much.
