As I mentioned in my last post, I really understand that for some us, putting healthy boundaries in place can feel uncomfortable. Flooding us with feelings of guilt, worry and the fear of how someone might respond.
You might feel you're being selfish, especially if messages you received from childhood were that you should be putting others first, tending to their needs rather than your own.
But healthy boundaries aren't rejecting people, pushing them away or dismissing their feelings. They are giving you the opportunity to think about putting your needs first. To gain that renewed sense of self-worth and empowerment.
Boundaries communicate what is acceptable and unacceptable in relationships. They create clarity, helping you to feel safe and less overwhelmed.
So, perhaps you can pause for a moment, to reflect and observe....
π€ How different might your life feel if you were to have boundaries in place?
What's one boundary you could set this week knowing you are making a healthy improvement and valuing yourself?
