Boundaries
Boundaries is one of the purest acts of self love we can do for ourselves. This creates space for you to mentally level up, space for you to set standards, space for you to flourish, space for you to understand what you will accept and what you won’t accept.
People will do to you what you allow them to do (read that again).
A simple analogy that Breeny Lee provided that spoke to me: if the inside of your car was spotless — no dust, no wrappers, no trash. Do you think someone would feel comfortable bringing their Five Guys inside your car without asking for your permission? Let’s take it a step further — what if you said “No eating inside my car.” (Translate that to a standard). Now, do you think asking for permission is even an option here? This is applicable to any aspect of your life.
So why is setting boundaries important? It creates your VALUE and your SELF-WORTH. You don’t need to let just anyone in your life and into your energy. Those that want to be in your circle will go through hurdles because they see your value. Yes, setting boundaries means you may have to cut people. I’m not going to lie about that. But if you already know people don’t serve you, why are you so scared of cutting ties? Do not be scared. It’s nothing personal — you’re just deciding that their energy does not serve your personal growth.
You’re going to attract what you are.
Yes, you will attract what you are. Just how people say you become who you surround yourself with. This is the same case. So if you are aware that there are changes that need to be made. Make them. Don’t just sit.
Steps to create boundaries:
1.) Respect yourself. Treat yourself how you want to be treated.
2.) Cut people/objects that do not serve you. Does the person/object bring you down physically, mentally, or emotionally? Then cut it.
3.) Learn to be fearless. People FEAR cutting others because they’re scared of being alone. No honey, being fearless allows you to step into your power. You are a gem.
4.) Understand that not everyone will meet your standards or mentally be at your level. And that’s okay. That just means you don’t have to deal with their issues. I mean why should you? You have your own issues to deal with.
