Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

The more you disrespect yourself by saying yes to others, by doing things you don't truly want to do authentically, you're living a lie.

You're living out of integrity and out of alignment with yourself

and with your highest version of you.

And you're doing something you really don't want to do.

And that is out of alignment.

And whenever you're out of alignment with yourself,

you're fracturing yourself, psychologically, emotionally, physically,

something is getting fractured because it's not in alignment anymore. So we have to reclaim this

energy. We have to reclaim our power back. And this doesn't make you bad and wrong if you've

been doing this for a long time. It just means this is the awareness that you needed right now.

This is the reminder to take your power back, to step into that self-respect so that you can

create boundaries with others and create respect within them. Now, they may not like you.

They may not enjoy this. They like the version of you that they can always count on that's going to discount yourself

to help them with something.

They like that version of you.

But no more.

You're killing that version of yourself that has been weakened by needing people to like you,

to love you, to love you,

to what you think is respect you,

but really they're not respecting you,

they're taking advantage of you.
