boundaries with yourself look like:
- having a bedtime
- not believing all thoughts as truth
- eating foods that make you feel good
- doing hard things in the moment to create your desired future
- sticking to your word
Just because you are kind and do it from the heart doesn't mean you are a human battery to be used and drained by abusers, users, takers, and toxic people. Empathy without boundaries is self-destruction. Training your boundaries to be stronger than your empathy is self-care.
Imagine hurting a woman when God sent her to heal you, take care of you, love you, support you, stick by you & show you pure unconditional love. All she needed from you was respect, appreciation, your time, attention & love. What a loss !!
