Taking deep breaths now,
Coming fully present in your skin and sending love all throughout your body.
The best project I'll ever work on is me.
The most closest relationship I'll ever have in my life is with me.
The person I can influence and help and impact the most is me.
Positive thoughts are great.
Pairing positive thoughts with positive actions is even more powerful.
And I take action on the new boundaries that I've set.
As I walk in my new boundaries and get comfortable in them,
I become more and more aware of what's really worth my energy.
I am patient with myself,
Patient with my emotions as they adjust to my new boundaries,
Patient with my inner rhythm and processes as they adjust to my new boundaries,
Patient with my habits as they adjust to my new boundaries,
And patient with my reactions as they adjust to my new boundaries.
Some parts of me may be screaming out,
Because this is new.
We didn't do things like this before,
Or we haven't done things like this for a long time.
We didn't let go or reverse course like this before.
But I'm keeping my commitment to myself.
Old solutions don't solve old problems.
New solutions solve old problems.
And this is a new solution.
I honor my path.
I honor my destiny.
I honor my journey.
It can get tricky and sticky when growing pains come,
But I see that they are part of the process.
Change can be uncomfortable and get painful,
But so is staying stuck.
Especially when I'm stuck somewhere that I don't belong.
I know something new is growing here,
Because not only have I made new boundaries,
I'm sticking to them.
I'm consistent in showing what I'm okay with and what I'm not okay with.
If someone doesn't get why I live my life this way,
It doesn't mean I have to follow the way they want me to live my life.
It's my life.
I don't owe explanations,
And I can always disconnect to reconnect.
I know how to be kind,
But also protect and defend my boundaries.
I do what's best for me and keep checking in with what my needs are and how I'm meeting them.
Depleting my energy and taxing myself too much is a thing of the past.
I now keep my distance from those who aren't respectful of my boundaries and who don't value my personal growth and self-care.
I keep note of those who resist my boundaries and accountability because I know that's the edge where their respect for me ends.
I don't apologize for setting boundaries.
I don't get loosey-goosey with my boundaries.
I am firm,
Assertive,
And clear.
At any time,
I can say this isn't working for me and walk away in peace.
I choose any discomfort this involves over resentment,
Self-destruction,
And burnout.
I practice walking away from people and situations that threaten my peace of mind,
My self-respect,
My morals,
My values,
My self-worth.
I protect my spirit,
So I'm careful with how much I tolerate.
I hold my boundaries by following through.
I see how caretaking,
People-pleasing is starting to just slide out of my life.
I quit believing that if I'm kind,
I'll never disappoint anyone.
And as I practice these boundaries,
I prepare knowing that in the next chapter of my life,
The next season,
I may need to change my boundaries again.
And I'm ready for that.
I'm mentally,
Emotionally,
And spiritually fit to do what's best for me,
To be in control of my time,
My energy,
And to live in the freedom that even if I'm misunderstood by others,
I am free to take care of me.
This is my season where I am not just setting boundaries.
I'm keeping the boundaries.
I'm holding the boundaries.
When it gets uncomfortable,
When it gets hard,
When it rattles me,
I still maintain my boundaries.
That is me.
That is now.
That is what will shape my future.
I love this version of me,
And I love the strength and courage I'm applying every day to set,
Keep,
And hold my boundaries.
