Day 333: Boundaries

(For Friday July 25)

Generally when we humans hear the word "boundaries" we immediately think in negative terms.  We consider it oppression, stifling the human spirit, squelching freedom, etc.  But boundaries are actually one of the most healthy and freeing things we can establish in our lives.  Boundaries give us perimeters that encourage healthy thinking, healthy relationships, etc.  When I draw boundaries around my relationships or my days in regards to time I feel freer, I breathe easier because I have given myself permission to say no or to walk away or whatever the person or situation calls for that is appropriate.  By having boundaries in my life I have given myself permission to take care of my own emotional, mental, and spiritual health which impacts my physical health as well.  I'm grateful for the lessons in boundaries that I have been learning over the past decade.  By drawing boundaries and establishing boundaries in my life I have started to tap into the true potential that I was created to have.  How do you feel about boundaries?
