Boundaries Do Not Equal Judgement

in #boundariesyesterday

When we establish boundaries, we demonstrate self-respect. Boundaries serve to shield us from negative influences, prevent manipulation, and maintain our integrity. They also enable us to be compassionate and supportive towards others.

Struggling with boundaries can manifest in difficulty saying no, overextending oneself, avoiding conflicts, harboring resentment, neglecting personal needs, or fearing rejection.

I advocate for the belief that setting boundaries is a personal responsibility, while it is others' responsibility to breach them, and our duty to uphold them. Boundaries should not be equated with judgement; rather, they are tools for self-protection, self-respect, and self-care.

I encourage you to contemplate where boundaries are needed in your life today. Is it time to establish a new boundary? Or perhaps, reinforce an existing one.

Peace & love to all
