SETTING BOUNDARIES

I generally advocate for not seeing people or situations as good or bad.  Even though people can feel pleasant or unpleasant to be around, everyone I experience has the potential to help me grow. The potential for my growth is within me, not within them. I don’t feel a need to help or to change someone when it’s clear they are not asking for my help. Therefore, setting boundaries is essential for me. 

I do have the right to choose what I want to have in my life. Therefore, discernment is not a judgement of others. It is an honoring of the intentions I have set for myself. I intend and want to live my life in a particular way. Setting boundaries is an act of self care. It is a sign that I am clear.  The quality of my life is important and I am fierce in my protection of it. I give this as much priority as I do good mental, emotional and physical health. Letting go of people, jobs, situations that are not right for me helps me to live what I hold in my heart.

Mantra: This is my life and my time. I am willing to care for myself and my life. I am getting better at self care as an act of love.
