GOOD MORNING 💕 Today we’re talking about OVEREXPLAINING.
Have you ever noticed yourself explaining the same thing 5 different ways because you’re scared someone will misunderstand you?
Sometimes overexplaining is a learned survival response. When you’ve spent years feeling like you had to defend yourself, prove your intentions, or keep the peace, silence can feel uncomfortable.
Try something different today:
Say what you mean.
Say it once.
Let it stand.
You don’t have to convince everybody to understand you.
A regulated life also includes learning when you don’t have to defend yourself. 🌿
