Boundaries
When
you know who you are; when your mission is clear and you burn with the
inner fire of unbreakable will; no cold can touch your heart; no deluge
can dampen your purpose. You know that you are alive. -Chief Seattle
I am worthy
I
can set a boundary. It may not be easy and it may not feel great, but I
can do it. I can sit with the reality of the boundary I have set so
that I don't boomerang into action to undo it when it feels unfamiliar,
scary, or anxiety provoking. I have a right to do what I need to do to
keep myself sane and balanced. I will not use my boundaries to bully
others nor to punish them. When I set a boundary it will be sincere and
only with the best intentions. If I have set my boundary too firmly, I
can amend it. If I need to set it more firmly, I can do that, too.
Nothing is permanent. When I sit with the feelings that setting a
boundary bring up in me, I learn things about myself, about why I was
not able to set it sooner-and I see more clearly what not setting it
cost me.
