The Cruelty of Niceness: Prioritizing Your Well-being

Hey lovely! You are such a sweetheart. I love that about you! I want you to:

Consider Your Needs

When desiring to be nice to others you can end up being cruel to yourself.

In your efforts to love and serve, you may discover that when you are in a state of internal repair those you have overextended yourself for ->are not there.

Love, please do not do that. You have to be with you 24/7.

The relationship you have with yourself is more important than the relationship you have with anyone else.

If you have to be cruel to yourself to keep others “pleased” – let them go.

You deserve to grow & be true to how God designed you.

Instead of leaning towards being nice choose to be kind.

The latter allows for empathy and compassion, while also embracing assertive communication and boundary setting.

I understand that unlearning the “nice vice” may be challenging. Know the future you will be grateful for shifting towards care that is truthful with your well-being in mind.

Take little steps each day to use your voice a little more even if it causes a roar.
