The Freedom To Respect Boundaries

God gave us freedom to do whatever we want to do.

Let’s use our power wisely. It comes from the great source —

With that lens, let’s look at boundaries. We often hear people say that boundaries are needed in order for any relationship to work. Boundaries are crucial in fact; I agree! 

I’ve learned that boundaries shouldn’t feel flimsy. If I don’t respect myself, who would take me seriously? If I don’t respect someone else’s boundaries, how can I love them fully? 

I don’t have to be this vampire…sucking up everyone’s empathy and vice versa. People pleasing and control are not the way. That comes from conditioning.

When I checked my ego and healed from many things, I realized that people have the freedom to respect my boundaries or not. And I also realized that I have the freedom to distance myself from people in order to honor my peace.

As we awaken and evolve, let’s look at our boundaries and determine if it’s coming from an ego space or a heart space; a painful, traumatic and past mistake, or a high vibe place. Not everything is so black and white. But we have the power to see the grey and to ask ourselves, honestly, am I empathetic in a healthy way? Or am I giving too much grace for people who just don’t get it? Am I abandoning myself to meet the needs of others? Is there reciprocity? Are people willing to see the heart in me like how I see the heart in them?

Your sense of safety is important. My sense of safety is important. 

Give grace and love as you stand on your square, firmly. 

I pray this helps you in your beautiful journey of self discovery.
