#24 How To Do Boundaries

This week on the show that has no name with @meganswanwellness… B is for boundaries and boundaries are there to protect us all, especially ourselves from… ourselves. Boundaries also help us identify where previous overstepping has been taking place in the form of resistance (to these boundaries) by others. That’s step one. Two… triggers. notice how you react when parts of your story (or new boundaries) are challenged. What are you taking offence to? Can you create space between the thing that offends you and your reaction to it? Ask yourself, is it trigger, or is it truth? Can you change your perspective to think of triggers as emotional feedback for the parts of your story that need to be challenged, changed, or dropped. Let’s go further… Then, appreciation. Appreciate your triggers. They are there to show you where you need more love, compassion, patience, trust, and meditation. They are love notes in disguise. And finally, “cut the cord”, sage, buy some crystals, do your thing to let that shit go. As my five year old says, don’t hate, mediate.
