Boundaries
It’s a new day... well, I’m working on a new day. It is a process, but something I am being diligent about. As a sensitive person, very in tune with the emotions of others, extremely empathic (I don’t use the term “empath” for reasons but same thing), throughout my life I’d be the one others called to unload on, to share with, to vent to, to brain pick, & would often feel responsible to help & hold space for. But unbeknownst to me they saw & felt a super power of mine, which is that I’m a feeler. I feel things very deeply, and can often take on the energy of others. Helping to Calm, comfort, & encourage troubled hearts. But a few years ago I started realizing how lack of balance & boundaries in my personal relationships was taking a toll on me, mentally, & physically, spiritually. How after talking to or spending time with certain people they would feel better and I would feel worse 🤔👎🏾. And then I started to develop anxiety myself 😓. Very intense. So I started working on my boundaries. & taking care of me. Saying no, being still, speaking up, taking time away for & with myself, developing new habits and routines, offering compassion, love, & forgiveness to myself & others, & going deep in and with God. This has been such an intense process for me, but also a blessing and really a special time in my life. I know it is very important because of how challenging it’s been.
There has been a series of transitions in my life the past few years that has shaken a lot of things up for me. But what I know about God & Life is that sometimes things have to fall apart in order for better things to come together. So I believe God for EVERYTHING I’ve been promised. A life of thriving and not just surviving. A good life for me (+ my family). Favor, prosperity, purpose, peace, love, joy, strength, fun, & Grace. Operating in my gifts, speaking my truth, while sharing THE TRUTH, & walking my path. Im praying the same for all of you. Don’t be afraid to put down/walk away from whatever may be killing you. & only you know what [it] (habit, person, place, belief, emotion) is. I promise there is freedom on the other side. Just Give it to God, not to Me lol. #blessedSaturday 💝💝💝
