As helpers, givers, empaths, and compassionate-hearted ones, we don’t always give ourselves permission to take up space.
We’re too busy doing that for everyone else.
We can get so good at pushing down our own feelings that we even fool ourselves, forgetting that we have wants, needs, and feelings of our own. 😵💫
Instead, we silence our voice and stay small so that others don’t feel uncomfortable.
(When in doubt, defer to what the other person wants, right)?
So, when we start trying to have a voice again, we find that we’ve forgotten how to give ourselves permission to use it. 🥺
And, when we want to start listening to our feelings again, we first we gotta remember where we stuffed them. 🥴
Developing healthy boundaries within ourselves can feel awkward and strange, especially after a long time of denying ourselves permission.
Here’s something that can help. 💛
Keep this Personal Permission Slip close by as you navigate your boundaries journey.
Healthy inner boundaries can look like this.
