Overgiving is something that women are culturally trained to do. It is so deeply ingrained in us that we often don’t know we’re doing it. It’s true that we are natural nurturers, but when we habitually sacrifice our own needs for those of others, we become physically, emotionally, and spiritually depleted.

What many women don’t realize is that when they are overgiving, they aren’t RECEIVING. When you aren’t able to receive, you can’t manifest the things you want.

Listed below are some signs of overgiving. If you can relate to ANY of these, it’s time to get support to stop this self-sabotaging pattern.

  • You don’t think about your needs first. You put other people’s needs first when making choices.
  • You feel depleted or exhausted a lot of the time. You don’t have the energy to do the things you really enjoy, and they aren’t prioritized in your schedule.
  • You feel financially tapped out. You underearn, compulsively spend, or live paycheck-to-paycheck because you’re afraid to ask for what you’re worth.
  • You don’t get the nurturing or pampering you need. You find that you are taking care of everybody else but not getting your own needs met.
  • You experience bursts of anger and sometimes find it hard to identify why you’re angry.You have resentment about your needs not getting met, and it comes out in sudden and unexpected ways.
  • You feel guilty or fearful when you say “no,” or you say “yes” when you don’t want to. You fear being rejected or criticized for setting boundaries around what you will and will not do.
  • You mother your man. You tell him what to do and/or do things for him that you want him to do himself.
