Learn to live life

How often in my life has it been that I am simply following the rules imposed by society, all I ever did was be a good little puppet that does what others want.

I wouldn't necessarily say that everything is bad but it's really about knowing why it's being done. No point following orders without knowing the reason behind them. For me one of the bigger problems has been about doing things that I enjoy. It has gone so bad that I honestly wouldn't even be able to tell you a whole lot of what I want.

Start small

With the last few years gone, I have realised that it's okay for me to focus on what I want, I don't have to always please others or do things for them, I can say no as well. I have had some scary situations where I have said no to people and the result was magnificent - I felt like I reclaimed some of the personal power that I had lost or rather that had been taken away before I even had a choice.

Go do something super small, even if it's something as bizarre as taking a choosing a different sauce to your meal, just because, at least you will know more and can be proud of making a decision of your own.
