#settingboundaries

[zenwords]

Boundaries are the most direct way for you to protect your energy. Make them clear for your sake. If they aren’t, people will just keep taking more and more. Not because they are malicious, but simply because they won’t know when you need space or when you are feeling depleted. Boundaries are a proactive way of designing your life. To help maintain your inner and outer vibrancy, you need to be able to clearly know who and what can enter your space. Boundaries are not about being overly strict or mean, they are about using your self-awareness of what is genuinely good for you and allowing these things to become the new pillars of your life. In a world where there is a constant battle for our attention and a potentially overwhelming amount of information, we need proper digital and in person boundaries to support our mental health. — Yung Pueblo #boundaries #settingBoundaries #selfAwareness #mentalHealth #yungPueblo https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKJyjjOGw7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

setting boundaries.

no longer giving people the space or opportunity to disrespect me, my lifestyle, my partner, my goals, my intelligence, my thoughts, my opinions, my work choice, what i do and how i do things.

boundaries

boundaries are bittersweet. they encompass how it feels to breathe in winter air; so cold that it stings, but the smell of earth is intoxicating. they're difficult to set up, especially as a people pleaser. i saw a quote today, that said something to the effect of "stop waiting for permission to be who you want to be". it has agitated my brain all day, wondering if i'm truly the person i want to be, or if i'm waiting for permission. i looked in the mirror today, and was pleasantly surprised. i look different. like someone who speaks their mind, and isn't afraid of being disliked. i've done many small things throughout the day to build up boundaries, and keep the ones i've already carefully accrued. i finished my schoolwork instead of meeting up with a friend, i spoke in a more matter-of-fact way, and (as insignificant as it sounds), i did not speed when cars were approaching me, nor did i look back. i am sawing away at my safety net; each loose strand bringing me closer to who i'm meant to be.

Memento Mori is a common mantra for those of us who accept our inevitable physical death and the deaths in our life that can be emotional, mental, metaphysical, or otherwise. I also find that ignoring influences that don’t align with your inner truth, also helps us accept the endings, beginnings, and transformations in life. I don’t mean ignoring as in turning a blind eye to important issues or refusing to look at a situation objectively even if you don’t agree with it because I don’t believe in the ignorance is bliss bullshit. Ignoring what isn’t worth your time and energy is the equivalent of setting boundaries and knowing what is and isn’t worthy of you. It can be misconstrued as self-righteous, especially by those who see your time and energy as something they have a right to possess or control (and then have the audacity to justify that manipulation). Let’s end shaming another person for setting boundaries and making choices for the betterment of their life, whether it seems selfish or not. Let go for your sake. #ignorethenoise #settingboundaries #mementomori https://www.instagram.com/p/CDhxoAbHyBm/?igshid=1056dbgyql3yo

Reposted from @natlue (@get_regrann) - Find it tricky to say no? You’re not alone. Some people struggle to come up with just *one* way to say no, and so over the past few months, I’ve been putting together a collection of scripts for saying no in a variety of situations (currently approaching 350!). Here are 15 more to add to your collection. If you scroll back through the grid, you can find more. How To Say No - The Scripts is coming very soon! #howtosayno #boundaries #healthyboundaries #recoveringpeoplepleaser #recoveringperfectionist #overthinking #overthinker #anxietyrelief #sayingno #sayingnoisokay #codependentnomore #assertiveness #healthyrelationships #selfhealing #selfcare #peoplepleasing #peoplepleasers #peoplepleaser #codependency #settingboundaries #boundariesarehealthy #baggagereclaim - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B6SdbhmgfYw/?igshid=q0e3kf5datgd

Reminders when setting boundaries:

1. It’s not my job to fix other people.

2. “no” is a complete sentence.

3. My feelings are my responsibility and your feelings are your responsibility.

4. Guilt is not a reason to help someone.
