“Daring to set boundaries is having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others.”

Over the past couple of years, I’ve become increasingly aware of various types of boundaries that people apply and often cross in our day-to-day activities.
Consider how Covid-19 has shaped our lives with social distancing, the use of masks, and a wide variety of other approaches to stay safe.
Before the pandemic and especially today, most of us have a sense of personal boundaries regarding our own bubble of comfort when at social gatherings. We can all feel the awkwardness and discomfort when someone entered our “no fly zone.”
EXERCISE:
Where in your life have others crossed the line and breached the walls of your well-being?
How can and will you find the courage to protect and love yourself when this may disappoint others in your various communities?
