Who’s Pulling You Off Course (and What to Do About It)
Let’s talk about the choices that shape your momentum.
Every time you say yes to something that takes you away from your priorities, you’re saying no to the version of you who’s trying to move forward.
It sounds obvious, yet most of us do it daily — often without even noticing.
This week, I caught myself almost agreeing to something I didn’t really want to do — out of duty. A small moment that would have cost me a full day of focus, energy and alignment. It was a reminder: boundaries are less about saying no to others and more about saying yes to yourself.
And here’s the deeper truth I’ve been sitting with...
It’s not just about what you’re saying yes to.
It’s about who you’re saying yes to.
You can be focused, driven, working hard to grow… and still feel off-track if the people around you are quietly pulling you off course.
So ask yourself:
-
Are you surrounded by people who play small and call it “being realistic”?
That kind of energy is contagious — in the wrong direction. -
Do the voices around you stretch you or soothe you into staying the same?
-
When you leave conversations, do you feel inspired or depleted?
The people around you shape what you believe is possible. And over time, their mindset can quietly become yours.
So how do you know if you’re absorbing a mindset that’s keeping you small?
Try this:
-
Notice where you’ve been doubting yourself.
-
Pay attention to where you’re shrinking to stay relatable.
-
Ask yourself if you’ve been adjusting your goals to match someone else’s comfort zone.
And what would it look like to shift that?
🌱 Gently audit your circle
🌱 Start saying no when something feels misaligned
🌱 Choose voices that expand you
🌱 Guard your headspace like it holds the future version of you — because it does!
💭 One thing I often say to my clients is this:
‘You can never shrink yourself small enough to make someone else feel better about themselves.’
And the moment you realise that, everything starts to shift.
And if you're reading this thinking: “This is exactly what I need to work on,” — I’ve got you.
Boundaries are the foundation of everything.
From your business to your family life, your health, food choices, relationships and your inner peace — they determine what you tolerate, what you prioritise and what you allow to thrive.
If you’re ready to create clear, empowered boundaries that support the life and success you actually want — I’d love to help you.
🖤 I offer 1:1 coaching specifically around boundaries — practical, personal, powerful.
