As helpers, givers, empaths, and compassionately-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.
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.
We want to begin learning how to listen to our feelings, but first we gotta remember where we shoved them…
Developing healthy boundaries within ourselves can feel awkward and strange after a long time of denying ourselves permission.
Here’s something that can help. 💛
Keep this Permission Slip close by as you navigate your boundaries journey.
Healthy inner boundaries can look like this.
