Why You Should STOP Over-Explaining Yourself

Stand up for who you are, what you believe in, and where and with whom you spend your time.

More often than not when someone asks us a question, instead of a simple and to the point answer we over-explain ourselves. As we over-explain we are more apt to be manipulated by those who want to manipulate us. When we over-explain we lose dignity and we take away from our self-esteem and self-respect because we aren’t being honest about our feelings. When we care about ourselves and want to do what’s right for ourselves, we aren’t trying to make everyone happy and make ourselves miserable in the process. Instead, we step up and are honest about our feelings, needs, wants, and where we will spend our time and what we will spend our time doing.

This video offers valuable information to anyone who is caring, loving, sensitive, and an empath, because if you are, you may fall into the trap of over-explaining yourself because of your love for people and your desire to be understood. Stand up for who you are, what you believe in, and where and with whom you spend your time.

About Ashley Berges

I’ve dedicated my life to searching, advocating, and offering a powerful and practical perspective for people to live a more rewarding life. I work to share the necessary life tools for helping people to identify their true self, identifying one’s true life separate from the growing up process and the possible unhealthy family dynamic. Once you're able to identify the "original you", and discover what it is you believe at the core of your being, you can then cultivate and nurture a solid identity based on your values, beliefs, and finding unconditional self-love for yourself. I’m the host of the nationally syndicated radio show on USA Radio Networks, Live Your True Life Perspectives, we discuss topics on relationships, psychology, mindfulness, self-worth, and the list goes on. There’s also a podcast you can listen to on Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, Spotify, and Spreaker amongst others.
I created a show called The Celebrity Perspective on Amazon Prime with some amazing celebrities being honest and true about themselves, how they feel and what they want from life. I’m the Live Your True Life Coach, Toxic Relationship to Divine Identity Coach and my latest book: The 10 Day Challenge to Live Your True Life.
