You know healthy boundaries are important, and you know you need more of them.
In fact, you probably even have some idea of the ones you need to set in your life.
Yet somehow… you don’t.
Why is it such a struggle to set the boundaries I need? you ask yourself.
Saying no can be a delicate, loaded thing.
Trust me, I know. It takes skill, tact, and courage to set limits.
Even the most reasonable, well-intended boundaries have the potential to disappoint, confuse, hurt, or rupture trust with people we care about.
Our boundaries have impact—and for better or worse, most of us end up swallowing our needs rather than risking the backlash of speaking up.
But this leaves us in between a rock and a hard place! If we express our boundaries, we risk harming our connections; if we don’t, we suffer.
We don’t want to be doormats, but we don’t want to be bulldozers either. Isn’t there a middle way?
Yes, thankfully, there is. And here’s the key:
Setting healthy boundaries has less to do with saying the right thing, and so much more to do with the energy we’re coming from.
I’ve seen this over and over again—
Fear-based boundaries tend to create disconnection and volatility. Grounded boundaries tend to create connection and clarity.
Truly successful boundary-setting is about first cultivating inner balance around the boundaries we’re setting, and then expressing them from a grounded, clear energy.
None of us are born boundary-setting geniuses, and we weren’t taught this stuff in school.
Luckily, boundary-setting is a powerful art we can adopt and master—it just takes the right mindset, tools, and environment to practice.
