Hannah’s Daily Note

You know the moment. You say yes. You smile. You sound capable.

And then five minutes later, there’s that tight feeling in your chest like, why did I do that again?

People-pleasing isn’t always about wanting approval. Sometimes it’s about avoiding discomfort. Avoiding being misunderstood. Avoiding having to explain yourself.

But every yes that costs you peace slowly disconnects you from yourself.

Boundaries aren’t about becoming difficult. They’re about becoming honest.
