I thought I was being loving — but I had no boundaries.
For a long time, I thought I was being loving…
But in truth, I had very few boundaries.
I put up with too much.
I walked on eggshells.
I over-gave.
What I believed was compassion was often over-extension — and slowly, that became self-abandonment.
I didn’t yet understand that you can care deeply for others and still honour yourself.
That you can be kind without continuously bending.
That love doesn’t require you to carry more than your share.
With time, lived experience, and emotional maturity, something changed. 🌱
I learned that boundaries aren’t walls — they’re clarity.
They aren’t punishments — they’re self-respect.
They don’t create distance — they create safety.
Boundaries are how we stay present without losing ourselves.
How we remain open without becoming depleted.
How love becomes steadier, calmer, and more real — where the body can finally relax instead of brace.
These days, I’m clearer, stronger, and steadier than ever.
More grounded and happier in myself than I’ve ever been.
And today, I’ll be speaking more about this — especially how boundaries can transform not just relationships, but your relationship with yourself. 🌞
Gentle question for you:
✨ Where in your life might a loving boundary bring more peace — not less?
(You don’t have to answer perfectly. Even noticing is enough.)
If any of this resonates, and you’re ready for more grounded connection and emotional stability…
