🌸 Now Let’s Talk About That Other Kind of Nourishment…
You ever feel like you’ve been shrinking yourself for the sake of being “easygoing?”
The quiet one. The agreeable one. The likable one.
But here’s the truth, baby:
Low standards aren’t soft—they’re sabotage.
And we don’t play small over here.
🪞 Mid-Lunch Mini Talk: Stop Watering Down to Fit In
Let’s get real:
If they only respect you when you’re silent, passive, or people-pleasing?
That ain’t love. That’s control dressed up as comfort.
It’s okay to:
– Say “this isn’t enough for me.”
– Want consistency, communication, and effort.
– Be the one who requires more—because you deserve more.
Your glow grows the moment you refuse to settle for less than what feeds your peace.
Standards aren’t obstacles. They’re filters. They keep the energy vampires out and the real ones close.
📝 Midday Journal Prompt:
“Where in my life am I lowering my standards just to stay liked— and what would it feel like to raise them unapologetically?”
Write it while you eat. Stir the bowl. Stir the truth.
💬 Let’s Dish in the Comments:
What’s one boundary or standard you’re re-committing to during today’s lunch?
Drop a 🍓 if you’re no longer shrinking to fit their spoon-fed expectations.
Because baby, this isn’t just greens. It’s growth.
And you? You’re the main course—not a side they only notice when they’re starving.
You deserve meals that nourish your glow.
Conversations that expand you.
And standards that protect the masterpiece that is you.
XOXO, Pink Aura Diaries 💋
