Healing Words 6.19.2018

Establishing boundaries is a vital part of healing. Through developing awareness of where you had poor boundaries in the past and then finding ways to strengthen them, you will start to notice a difference in how you cope with problems in the future. I used to keep quiet out of "politeness." Now when I'm in a situation that is making me uncomfortable I ask myself this question: "What would I gain from speaking up for myself and what would I lose?" Setting new boundaries where there weren't boundaries before is challenging and takes practice—just remember you can say no. 

​Healing Words is an ongoing series with the intention of once a day shifting focus away from suffering and onto healing. Healing is a daily practice of listening to your inner voice and turning pain into purpose.
