Boundaries

Boundaries play a critical role in our journey to become the leader of our life.

Renowned shame researcher Dr. Brené Brown states: "Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others." Yes, indeed,  Dr. Brown... setting boundaries is both an act of courage and an act of love.

As I thought more about boundaries, I wrote the following notes in my journal.

Boundaries:

• create a path to self-respect & self-love
• help you be open to experiences & people without losing yourself
• reinforce your values and personal integrity
• create space for true authenticity to grow
• require you to be curious and vulnerable
• are not walls that prevent negative life experiences
• are invisible until they are effectively communicated

‍

I am curious... How have boundaries, or the lack thereof, shown up in your life?

I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Carla Pursnani about boundaries on her podcast: Infuse Your Future with Dr. C. You can listen to the full episode here.
