Boundaries


Are you holding boundaries that work for you? Are people overstepping their boundaries with you? Are you overstepping other people's boundaries?

It's okay to push past where you feel comfortable when you're growing, when you will get positive results for yourself or a greater good. But some things are really clear and I'm here to tell you that when you need to say NO, gather yourself up--even if you don't think you can--and say NO where it needs to be said.

Pay attention to that inner voice that lives inside of you. If you’re saying “no” on the inside, say “no” on the outside.

Say “yes” to yourself and what you know is right for you. If you're not sure if it's right to say "no" or not, ASK someone who is trustworthy.

You can do it!

Love,
Aunt Laya

This is a hard one.

This is a hard one for sure. It's in the challenge of it that we grow stronger and truer. The thing is, that we'll always make mistakes along the way. That's a given. We'll make mistakes, then we pull ourselves back up anyway.

Have the courage to do what you can when you can and know that you'll get better with practice. (and there are lots of opportunities for practice aren't there?)

Little by little. Ask for help when you need to.

Love,
Aunt Laya
