Boundaries, Stress & Beyond Saying “No”


Listen Later

Boundaries have been a hot topic for quite a while in the health and wellness space. One of the ways that we misunderstand boundaries is that, rather than imposing our feelings on someone else under the guise of a “boundary,” boundaries should really be more about understanding where the line lies between one person and another.

A prime example of having a firm boundary is when it comes to our feminine power. There are so many mixed messages on social media that portray femininity that do not represent what true feminine power is. Enforcing a boundary is drawing a line between how you interpret your feminine power and how someone else is portraying it.

We can still acknowledge and respect someone else’s view of what feminine power is without embodying it ourselves. Ultimately, nobody but you can define your feminine power, and what is right for you may not feel right for someone else. So much of our feminine power comes from us being in alignment with ourselves, and that requires kind but firm boundaries. 

Boundaries may also be something that you will have to identify within yourself. We need to begin to hold each other accountable when we see one another acting in ways that would cross the boundaries that we’ve identified for ourselves. If there are actions or behaviors that we exhibit that knowingly induce stress, we must hold ourselves accountable for those behaviors and the impact they have on our overall physiology.

Tune in today to hear more about what it really means to have boundaries that go beyond just saying no and help us truly tap into our feminine power and potential.
