Boundaries are the rules we set up in life that dictate the people and experiences we allow into our lives. These rules also drive our decisions and behaviors, so that we can achieve a certain level of comfort and stability.
In other words, if you feel comfortable with someone, you share and give more of yourself. You can allow yourself to be more authentic and vulnerable. And you feel safe around them. These are the people you allow into your “castle walls.” But if someone makes you feel uncomfortable, and they’re asking you to do things you don’t want to do, or pressuring you into things, these are the people you keep out beyond the moat. You don’t let them cross the bridge and into the castle, because if you do, you’ll certainly be compromised.
I share with you my personal experiences with my struggle with boundaries, and also how you can discover and honor your own. This episode is packed with solid information throughout. I know you’re going to learn a lot and walk away with a new perspective on your own personal boundaries.
