Beautiful Boundaries

WHY ARE BOUNDARIES SO IMPORTANT TO MY MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING?

As helpers, givers, empaths and compassionately-hearted ones, we don’t always give ourselves permission to take up space.

We are too busy doing that for everyone else.

We can get so good at pushing down our own feelings that we even fool ourselves.

We silence our voice to stay small so that others don’t feel uncomfortable.

(When in doubt, defer to what the other person wants – right?)
