Setting Boundaries

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others. We can’t base our own worthiness on others’ approval (and this is coming from someone who spent years trying to please everyone!). Only when we believe, deep down, that we are enough can we say “Enough!”  – Brene Brown

I love this quote! I know it to be true, because it’s my story too.

Please know that you are ENOUGH! Don’t comply and conform to fit a mold not cut for you. Stop worrying about what “they” will say.

Don’t lose yourself in an attempt to please people by shrinking to fit in spaces you’ve outgrown. The people that are meant to be in your life have the capacity for ALL of you!

You don’t need anyone’s permission to be and do YOU. I assure you, there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re worthy, beautiful and made with love.

Setting personal boundaries is the best way to honor yourself. They are important because they set basic guidelines of how you want to be treated. When applied, they establish how you interact with others and indicate to others how they are to behave around you.

Set boundaries that give you the freedom to be true to who you are and regard your purpose, your vision and your goals.
