Today you’re being reminded that you are absolutely allowed to enforce your boundaries.
Get clear on what you want and need.
Be clear on what you will not accept or tolerate.
Express your expectations with clarity.
Raise your standards and expect more from yourself and others.
Be clear on what you will compromise on and what is absolutely non-negotiable for you.
Boundaries do not keep people out, they just show people where the door is.
You are allowed to enforce your boundaries.
Ask someone to leave, say ‘No’, remove yourself from a situation.
You do not have to put other people’s needs or comfort before your own if it means that you are putting yourself in a situation that makes you uncomfortable.
In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you re-establish your boundaries.
Today’s SHEro Action:
Today’s SHEro action is to take note of where you’ve been too relaxed with your own boundaries, if you’re unsure, consider where you have been feeling uncomfortable, stressed or anxious.
Where do you feel pushed to your limits?
Then consider some options that might be available to you so that you can re-establish these boundaries.
Start small and know what you want and need.
Be clear with yourself and others about the situation and your expectations about it.
Seek support.
Be assertive in your communication.
Recognise your feelings and honour them.
Boundaries are about self-respect, give yourself permission to enforce them and maintain them.
Pause, and take a breath. As you feel into your own boundaries.
Today’s Affirmation:
“I allow myself to enforce and maintain my boundaries for my own well-being”
