Boundaries
I have to admit that learning to set boundaries came to me at time when I felt least equipped. From what I account of that time period in particular came with lots of ups and downs and constantly feeling like I was being tested. Once I set one, I’d be challenged to be stronger and tougher at the next go around when someone was trying to take advantage of me. The tests came often, and then they became more spread out. What felt like mastery had been accomplished, another situation would pop up to challenge my skills yet again.
What I’ve since learned is that there will always be tests. But what is VERY different now, is I’m quicker at indicated the boundary and much more stronger in my stance when the line needs to get drawn. I still get uneasy, my heart races, my doubt tries to creep in, but the victory of saying no and standing by my word feels incredible. It’s so worth the uneasiness to get to the other side of the struggle. While I can’t consider myself a master just yet, it has empowered me to want to train others. Is that even a thing? LOL I feel that strongly about setting them now that I want others to know how incredible it feels to be in my power stance.
Do you want a reminder to set/get them? You can order a shirt in our merch store and stand strong in your boundaries and wear it to remind yourself and/or others you’ve got them!
We’re strong, but we’re even stronger together.
