All right, this week we're going to reset your tolerance to sacrificing yourself, because I want you to experience what happens when you have one less thing holding you back.

It's kind of like being forced into caring about yourself and loving yourself. Let's do it.

First things first, if sacrificing yourself was the way to get what you want, you would have it by now.

You would have what you want, you would feel how you want to feel if sacrificing yourself was the way to get there.

We're going to get real deep with this entire topic. First thing after I just told you that, sacrificing yourself is not the way to get to what you want.

When you are sacrificing yourself and you're hurting yourself for other people, or if you think that hurting yourself is the only way to get to where you want to go, you have to understand you are having to hurt someone to get there.

That person is you. You are still harming someone the way you're trying to do things to get what you want

and that matters it really needs to matter that you are that someone

let's talk a little bit about how this comes about i've dealt with it myself

it's a bitch to get over.

But everything gets better and life does not feel so bad

once you get all of this and you fully understand it.

You don't feel drained, you don't feel tired,

you don't feel discarded, and you don't beg for mercy, but we're

going to get there. Every bit of guilt that you feel for prioritizing yourself or taking care of yourself

is fully valid.

If you notice this is something that you struggle with,

this is the only way of living that you know.

It's the only life that you know

to sacrifice yourself for others

and to not really care what happens to you and be willing to take on all the pain and all the everything for everyone

But I want to point out why it feels so good to make your life more difficult and to take on more pain. It feels good because you were praised for doing it.
