I trust myself to set boundaries that support my overall well-being
Setting boundaries is an important part of taking care of yourself. It means knowing what you need and what you don't need in your life. It means being able to say no when you need to, and being able to say yes when you want to. It means being able to protect yourself from things that might harm you, and being able to let in things that will help you grow.
When you trust yourself to set boundaries that support your overall well-being, you are giving yourself permission to take care of yourself. You are saying that you know what you need, and that you are willing to do what it takes to get it. You are saying that you are worth the effort, and that you deserve to be happy and healthy.
Setting boundaries can be hard, especially if you are used to putting other people's needs before your own. But it is important to remember that you are not being selfish when you set boundaries. You are simply taking care of yourself, so that you can be the best version of yourself for the people around you.
When you set boundaries, you are also setting an example for others. You are showing them that it is okay to take care of themselves, and that they don't have to sacrifice their own well-being for the sake of others. You are teaching them that it is possible to be kind and compassionate, while also being strong and assertive.
So how do you set boundaries that support your overall well-being? It starts with knowing yourself. What are your values? What are your needs? What are your limits? Once you know these things, you can start to communicate them to others.
Communication is key when it comes to setting boundaries. You need to be clear and direct about what you need and what you don't need. You need to be willing to say no when you need to, and to say yes when you want to. You need to be willing to stand up for yourself, even if it means disappointing others.
Remember, setting boundaries is not about controlling others. It is about taking control of your own life. It is about creating a safe and healthy space for yourself, where you can thrive and grow. It is about trusting yourself to know what is best for you, and having the courage to act on it.
So repeat the affirmation to yourself: “I trust myself to set boundaries that support my overall well-being”. Believe it, and live it. You deserve to be happy and healthy, and setting boundaries is one of the best ways
