Accept one's right to have boundaries.
Have a clear understanding of their goals, for it's not about you.
It is all about them.
And that's okay.
Respect their choices, decisions, space, time, distance, unspoken words, desires, wants, and conditions.
It's not selfish in any relationship to allow one the freedom to be their own person without you in their life minute after minute, day after day.
It's not easy to do but, take a leap of faith and trust what is best for the relationship
Then hit that reset button within yourself and stop focusing on you for a change.
Smothering someone with "all of your stuff" may not be what they need because they have their own "stuff" too.
Breathe and motivate yourself to take some time and look inside yourself and see how you can set your own boundaries.
Give yourself the permission to bring life to those boundaries.
Give your boundaries a powerful voice and own them
This step is all about you figuring out who you are and what you want for yourself.
Accept that you place value in creating and setting your own boundaries.
Try some soul searching
Trust yourself to believe in you
Search for your own happiness
Listen to that tiny voice.
What is your heart whispering?
What do you want in your life to make you happy?
Who will you allow in your life?
Where do you want to go in your life?
Boundaries require mutual respect.
How will you respect your own boundaries when you are encouraged to compromise your integrity?
Accept your own right to have boundaries too.
