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....

Do you ever find yourself saying "yes" when every part of you is shouting "No!"? Or feel other's take advantage of you and like you're losing yourself along the way?

This could be a sign that you need to start setting some healthy boundaries.

As children, many of us never had healthy boundaries modelled to us and so don't even know they're missing or even what they are.

I know setting boundaries may feel difficult, especially if this is something you haven’t really considered before. But having them in place can protect your energy, clarify your needs and create space for healthier, more respectful relationships.

So, if you're noticing some of these signs popping up, maybe it's time to think about creating and enforcing some boundaries - there's no need for guilt, it's not selfish, it's taking the very best care of your wellbeing πŸ’›

● Anxiety shows up differently for each of us and it can be really useful to recognise the signs of anxiety setting in.

● If you notice some of these signs in someone else, ask them what they need in that moment. Let them know you understand and they can talk to you about what they're experiencing.

● If some of these signs are familiar to you and you recognise that your anxiety is setting in, remember the anxious feeling will eventually pass - it always does 🩡

● Let me know in the comments how you recognise your anxiety setting in.
