As you progress in the work of boundaries, you’ll find your groove + voice. You’ll begin to feel more confident, safe + free. However there is a piece that I find we don’t talk about as much as we should, and that is how to show up for OTHERS when they express a boundary.
Just remember, it’s easy to cut someone off when they share a boundary with you that you don’t entirely agree with or understand. It’s easy to walk away hurt + offended. It’s easy to build a case against someone you love, and throw in the towel, injured + angry.
It ISN’T easy to surrender, stay curious + open, and boldly push through to show up. But that’s what makes for a deeper connection, allows you a real time lesson in expansion, and a vulnerable opportunity to better know + be there for someone you care about.
Sit in the discomfort. Remember, boundaries that are kindly communicated are little “love notes” to and from each other.
What a gift it is to show up for each other in this brave, messy work. ❤️
