Illuminating the Shadow: Embracing BOUNDARIES as Radical SELF-CARE
BOUNDARIES do not BIND, they LIBERATE
What if I told you that people treat you EXACTLY how you allow them to treat you? What if I told you that we show people HOW to treat us and we show them the very BEHAVIORS that we find acceptable, and these behaviors and tendencies are directly reflected in the very BOUNDARIES (or lack of them) that we set forth?
While boundaries may seem limiting or restrictive sometimes to others, when used appropriately they are QUITE the opposite and they are LIBERATING AF!! OUR BOUNDARIES KEEP US SAFE. But boundaries are much more than that, when we set boundaries, we then have the capacity to recognize and accept and to MEET our own needs. Boundaries are the courageous manner through which we act to nurture ourselves, through our confidence to SPEAK our TRUTH. When we set boundaries we have the courage to LOVE and honor ourselves and to meet our needs, and we can then act to reclaim our power and to re-write some of our outdated narratives, if we find that they are no longer serving us.
You know how I am always saying that there is power in your voice and there is medicine in your story and that you are active writing your own story through your own interpretations of your experience and your own narrative? Well that narrative, that story of your life, it is reflecting back to you in the very boundaries that you set with others.
In this episode of Illuminating the Shadow podcast, we will be shining a gentle light of awareness upon some our beliefs, tendencies and patterns when it comes to our relationships with others, paying particular attention to our personal boundaries.
Join me as we will explore these themes an much more as we seek out to illuminate the shadow together.
There is power in your voice and there is medicine in your story.
