Whiskey & Wisdom -Ep. 6: Stop Giving Discounts on Your Boundaries

People usually don’t have a problem with your boundaries…until those boundaries affect their access to you.Everybody respects “I need to protect my peace” until protecting your peace means:You stop answering every call.You stop saying yes every time they ask.You stop fixing problems you didn’t create.You stop accepting behavior just because “that’s how they’ve always been.”And suddenly…you’ve changed.Maybe you have.Maybe you finally realized that being a good person doesn’t require being available to everybody all the time.A boundary isn’t punishment.It isn’t revenge.And it isn’t about controlling somebody else.It simply says:“This is what I will and will not allow in my life.”So stop setting boundaries and then negotiating them because somebody doesn’t like them.Stop giving discounts on your boundaries just because somebody doesn’t like the price.The people who genuinely respect you may not always agree with your boundaries…but they’ll learn how to love you without constantly crossing them.Your peace has a price.And everybody doesn’t get a discount. 🥃🥃 Whiskey & Wisdom -Episode 6Stop Giving Discounts on Your BoundariesFrom a quiet corner of The Sykes Lounge.Be Safe.
