✨To my massage therapy clients✨

I’m still massaging! Though my schedule can be a bit hectic with EMT classes, coaching classes at .performance and traveling to my regular massage therapy clients, I do have a home base!

DM, text or call if you’d like to get back on my table! 🙌🏼

*Please note that when I travel there is an additional charge.

I had a really good discussion about boundaries with my Integrative Health client the other day. People don’t realize that it takes effort daily to uphold a true boundary. A true boundary is one that is not just applied to one situation or person, it’s a standard that you alone must uphold across the board in order for it to reflect your deepest values, morals and beliefs, regardless of who, what, when, and why.

What do I mean?

Well, the holidays just passed and I’m sure most people just had a massive sigh of relief. Family are probably the worst at overstepping boundaries and they do it without considering any consequences because, “it’s family”. It’s them asking you to partake in something when you’ve made it clear you don’t want to be around certain people. It’s them creating situations and making it sound like it would be to your benefit if you were there and trying to make you feel bad if you decided not to join. It could also be them playing the wishful thinking card and wanting the picture perfect holiday gathering and not considering that it would be at the expense of your comfort and the boundary you’ve established because “it’s family”.

It doesn’t matter who it is- family, friend, coworker, or client- your boundaries are non-negotiable. You’re allowed to make as many of them as you need, and you need not to feel bad for any moment which means you have to step away from a person, place or thing. You also don’t have to continue to explain or defend yourself. Stand firm and true to yourself.

You create the life you want and that means allowing what you wish and banishing what you will not tolerate. That’s not for anyone else to decide. People are selfishly motivated, so you’re allowed to be as well and you don’t have to do anything to appease others especially if it compromises your sanity. Trust me, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.💫

❓What are some boundaries you’ve established that have changed your life for the better once you’ve put them into practice?

In a relationship worthwhile, your partner does not require you to change your priorities, manipulate your boundaries or dictate your values. They are as much their own person navigating life as you. In being a witness to each other’s calling they will influence your perspective and you will refine what you stand for. You will resist, until you realize you are better for it.

It is not sacrificial if you become more compassionate, resilient and inspiring as a whole as well as to those you are championing your life. If you dare place a value on anything that means losing it will be significant. So we hold it at arms length, we resist the change and become aware of the worst possible outcome because we think sacrifice means losing who we are. But what if you’re losing what no longer serves you? What if, that person knows how to cast the sails during your storms? That person not only sees you for who you are but also sees every bit of who you could become.

The highest good that one could set out to achieve is to become who you’re meant to be. Find someone to hold you accountable to that responsibility or you will believe at some point that you’ve done all you could, becoming nihilistic to some degree. We all have the proclivity to want to be right, but what do we learn if we are always defensive, always proving the other wrong, especially our loved ones? What do we get out of it exactly?

In a relationship everything is reciprocated. We listen if we feel heard. We become more agreeable if we feel we are accepted. We are more vulnerable if we are understood. You feed and grow or you wither and crumble. Needs are not burdens but standards of desired living. You should never be shamed for what your soul desires.

No one is exempt from the inevitable suffering in life. So become the strongest version of you with someone who is willing to do the same and bare the burdens. You will win any battle then. Our self awareness is one thing. Our consciousness is for the encounter with potential and sometimes those who love us can see that more clearer than we can. That is what is good for you.

I had a great conversation the other day and it was agreed that if you always did what makes you happy then the moments can be short lived, purposeless and likely meaningless because it highly depends on the situation. However, if you always did what made you proud, your happiness is then dependent on you and your purpose. It will ultimately be more fulfilling as well. I will add that I have learned letting go and surrendering, though extremely difficult at times, is the surest way to become the best version of who you are meant to be and by doing so you’re serving the highest good possible.

Happiness will become a flow state and not something you seek to fulfill.
