Boundaries | The Path To Self-Realisation
Are you a people pleaser? Time to set your boundaries... My what??
We often say Love has no limits. But self-love can only flourish if our limits are known, expressed, and respected. :)
Do you know where YOUR limits are? Reflecting on what’s important to you—your beliefs, values, and your YOU—is crucial. How do you react when someone oversteps your boundaries, whether through actions or words?
Often, people aren't deliberately crossing your boundaries; they likely don't realise these boundaries exist. We assume they should know because our limits feel innate, but the truth is—they don't.
This is where your voice becomes essential. It’s there not just for small talk or idle gossip; your voice should express your TRUTH. We often find our boundaries when they're crossed. For those of us who tend to please others, the very concept of setting boundaries might feel foreign. Have you ever thought, “Should I really prioritise my own wellbeing over serving others?”
Using your voice to say "no" or to explain how certain actions make you feel isn't about blame but about expressing your needs constructively. It’s not about controlling others; it’s about respecting yourself.
Think of boundaries like a riverbed, guiding the flow of your life. They are the foundation that allows your creative and personal essence to thrive. Without them, we're more like a puddle than a powerful stream.
Here are a few tips to help you manage and express your boundaries:
Connect with Your Heart: Start with this meditation that helps you tune into your heart.
Reflect on Your Values: Regularly remind yourself of your values, needs, and beliefs.
Recognise Triggers: Pay attention to when and why you get emotional. What boundary was overstepped?
Visualise: Imagine yourself asserting your boundaries confidently with someone who has crossed them.
Communicate Clearly: Don’t hesitate to express your boundaries to others, and be open to adjusting them as you grow and learn about yourself.
Play with your boundaries: There may be some unmovable boundaries but I believe some may adjust with time, people and situations. So do allow some flexibility as long as you don’t compromise your integrity.
Observe the body as a guide: This meditation will help you tune into the body. When something crosses our boundary, the body tends to tense up.
Boundaries aren’t just for others; they are for you to know the limits of how much you can give and when it’s time to say enough. They help define who you are in relation to yourself and to others. Your freedom begins where your boundaries are recognized.
How do you set, express, and adjust your boundaries?
