There are a lot of people in this world, and there is not one of the exact same.
You all see things differently and you all have your own views and beliefs.
Some of you hear the word ‘boundary’ and are instantly negative and turned off towards the matter, without completely understanding the full potential certain boundaries can have.
Some of you perceive them as someone telling you what you can and can’t do or that having to have boundaries means your relationship is no good.
I strongly believe in boundaries; and I want to teach you the magic of boundaries and what they can bring into your lives. They are a form of limitation but not a bad limitation, it is an understanding between two people.
It is having that meaningful conversation with one another, discussing what you expect out of that person, and what you expect to receive in return.
It is working out that balance of give and take. Without it, one might take and take until there is nothing left for the other person to give. And that is not what you want.
Setting boundaries in intimate relationships allow our partner to see us as another human being with values, beliefs, interests, and other relationships.
It gives them the chance to appreciate who we are and what we do.
It creates a healthy respect and understanding that we are more than this relationship and we bring our own unique mix of skills, abilities, and experiences to the relationship.
Boundaries are our saviour’s and creators of that deeper connection and love for yourselves and the people you allow in.
They encourage you to stick to your own individuality, they create space for you to continuously grow as an individual, as well as alongside your person.
Boundaries are for our emotional health and enforcing them into our lives and relationships automatically makes us emotionally healthier.
“Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others.” — Brené` Brown.
So, boundaries are not about trying to control someone or make them change. Boundaries are about establishing how you want to be treated, self-preservation in a chaotic environment, and a new path to a healthier relationship and respect for each other.
