Boundaries
We have a women’s circle on the topic of boundaries tonight, so this topic is the only thing on my mind.
I’ve been deep diving into what it is to have and maintain strong boundaries and something that is a central component of healthy relationships with boundaries is self respect and esteem. We have to feel worthy of the boundaries we are setting. We have to feel like we are worth protecting and advocating for. The other key element for boundaries is not being so fearful of confrontation and conflicts.
Our relationship with conflict is usually with a negative lens. However, conflict is how we come to resolve. Conflict is how we bring everything to the table and say “okay now what?” Conflict, when addressed in a mindful way, can be the stepping stones to peaceful and productive communication and change. When both parties feel heard and seen, meaningful resolve can be achieved.
Setting boundaries requires you to address head on an issue and move with your inner being in mind. You are worth setting boundaries for.
