• Boundaries are EVERYTHING 🙌🏽✨ Boundaries are so essential to the quality of relationship that we have with ourselves as well as the relationships we develop and maintain with others. Setting boundaries gives us an opportunity to set a limit on what we’re ok with vs. not ok with. Boundaries additionally give us the ability to reclaim power and a voice in our lives - Really crucial to our self-esteem and protection of our energy and whole vibe! All important factors in contributing to your overall glow and mental health 😌👌🏽 Boundaries are necessary to establish mutual respect, to avoid people pleasing, limit mistreatment, and to eliminate exhaustion for overextending yourself. Boundaries also assist us in taking responsibility for our own needs and wants. Boundaries give us a voice and clear view of what is in our control 😉🙏🏽 Setting effective boundaries will require: ✨ Self-Awareness ✨ Self-Love ✨ Healthy Communication ✨ Saying the Hard Stuff ✨ Aligning with or Stepping into our Power [[ Source: The New Codependency by Melody Beattie ]]

  • Have you wondered whether you may be challenged with Codependency or not? 🤔 Codependency can sometimes look like normal behaviors with the added extras - Caring TOO much, worrying TOO much, involving yourself TOO much, etc. Codependent behaviors may have helped with survival up to a certain point in life - But they eventually become inefficient, damaging, cause physical and emotional exhaustion, often keeping you trapped in your own cage. They can feel scary to let go of because perhaps you’ve leaned on them for your own protection. Breaking free from codependency will require you to be uncomfortable for a bit - Is the feeling of discomfort worth it for YOUR freedom? 👀✨ Becoming more familiar with the signs brings you one step closer to freedom and recognizing when you’re falling into the traps. The more you recognize the traps, the less likely you are to fall into them👌🏽💫

  • Do you know what Codependency is? Basically it’s a set of normal behaviors we consistently engage in while maintaining relationships with others - Overtime, those behaviors become toxic. It’s the perpetual crossing of boundaries due to not knowing what they are, where they are, or how to set them. It is becoming so preoccupied with changing others that you lose sight of the only person you have control of changing: YOURSELF 👀☝🏽 Many of us have been conditioned to be codependent and don’t even know it! Our families, friends, and life experiences get us here. At times, it’s hard to distinguish between caring and caring too much, feeling and feeling too little. Educating yourself about codependency can bring you one step closer to stepping out of those patterns 🙌🏽💫
