I think “boundary-setting” is overused. Not because we do it too much, but because people think that anything that makes them a little uncomfortable is a boundary. I believe we set boundaries when we need to protect ourselves from trauma, meaning that someone is mistreating us, taking advantage of us, or behaving in a way that is harmful to ourselves, themselves or others.
But we set some “boundaries” that actually limit our growth; that create a security zone we never want to breach. What if we push beyond that? Use this time of journaling/intention-setting to reflect on where you need to create limits with others so that you can have more space to live your most authentic, least selfish life — and then shift to consider ways you limit yourself. Ways you fence yourself in!
