How to make yourself a priority and set boundaries that stick so you can step into center stage of your own life
the number one practice to setting boundaries that cannot be crossed is remembering that your boundaries are first and foremost between you and you even if they involve someone else.
So, remember boundaries are not about wanting someone else to do anything different. Boundaries are not for other people to respect uphold or honor. Your boundaries are what you set, the limits you set. Around what you will or will not do accept or tolerate, what's okay and not okay for you and then it's up to you to hold them.
If your boundaries are being crossed, you are the one crossing your own boundaries therefore the practice to engage in, to set and maintain boundaries that cannot be crossed is stepping in to your own responsibility and empowerment around the boundaries you set and hold. It's an inside job.
This moves you right out of blame and victimhood, this makes it impossible to hold anyone else responsible for the quality of your life and that to me is how boundaries are expansive. Boundaries help us carefully choose and consciously curate the content of our own lives.
We need to know our non-negotiables and we need to hold true to what works for us. That is the key. If you want to set and hold boundaries that cannot be crossed remember that your boundaries are between you and you and it's an inside job.

I like the part where you said boundaries are between a person and themselves. That is very profound. If we stick to that, we can become more confident in ourselves.

Really beautiful, "If you want to set and hold boundaries that cannot be crossed remember that your boundaries are between you and you and it's an inside job".
That line really got me, sometimes when we mess things up, we are ve scared to take responsibility for our actions but the thing is, it is only we that know where we are broken and that makes it easy for us to fix.

Hi @hollowins...
Yes you are absolutely right on that 👍.
This is a good reminder! It is easy to be drawn into blame and victimhood. However, we all need to take responsibility by establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries.
