SETTING THE BOUNDARIES

I recall the days of saying yes to everyone, Just to be a part of it all, to be liked, to make others happy. Even if it meant doing something I didn't really want to do. Even if I had other things planned for myself, I'd cancel my own wants & desires for others. To me it said, by saying yes, That they will like me more. That I will be accepted more. That they can reply on me to be there. But all it did was the opposite. And also by doing so, I felt less and less fulfilled within myself. I recall the days of keeping my mouth closed, So that I wouldn't upset others, so they wouldn't think bad things of me. So they wouldn't think of me as too strong, too bossy, too opinionated. Not asking for what I really needed in any moment, or speaking up to what felt right or wrong for me in any moment. It meant holding it all in and feeling the frustration that came with that. It meant not being able to get things that I really desired to have. I didn't like the confrontation that it brought or could bring. So I just kept my mouth shut and in doing so I felt deflated within. When I was coming from a place of thinking too much about what others would think of me, I abandoned myself on so many levels. My relationships weren't healthy ones, My time was used up in doing things that gave me very little to no fulfilment, I felt what I had to say was never enough to be heard or listened to, I lacked so much energy and any energy I did have was one that lacked vibrance. This is all because I had none to very few boundaries in many areas of my life. The moment I decided to take responsibility for myself, Was the moment I started to create boundaries for myself & in my life. And the moment I started, was the moment things began to shift for me. It wasn't a one night wonder of boundary setting and all was good. It took time, it took situations & people to show me where I lacked boundaries It took courage on my part to put them in to place, act on them and continue to do so. It took courage to have tough & uncomfortable conversations with some people. There were times I dropped the ball, yet the more I practiced them, the quicker they became apart of me. I began to get really clear on who I was, What I wanted and where I needed to adjust - Where I needed to take responsibility. It's up to us. It's up to us to teach others how we wish to be treated. It's up to us to stand up for what we wish to see for our own lives.
