If only people around me understood that „No“ should be enough when it comes to boundaries. #boundaries #Selfcare #Neurodiversity

Once we’ve gotten over the hurdle of identifying a limit or need and setting a boundary in response to that need, what’s next?
Well, the next step is to continuously enforce that boundary in ways we feel are best. This step can definitely be challenging! Enforcing a boundary takes work. But not to fear! We are ultimately in control of our boundaries and can work on improving them any time we want.
Mighty staffer @xokat says that her biggest challenge in enforcing boundaries is her people-pleasing tendencies. Thanks to the unreliability of her health which in turn makes her feel guilty and like she has to “make it up” to others, she tends to overcompensate by allowing others to skirt what she needs. Which, at the end of the day, hurts her more than helps. But she’s working hard to center her needs and make decisions from there!
What about you?

Finding out I was psychologically abused by my parents has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to face. Setting boundaries with them was even harder. Finally, cutting them out of my life because they're too wrapped up in their own toxic mess has been heartbreaking.
The self doubt, shame and guilt that has come from this whole journey has been debilitating. I haven't wanted to go to work, I have barely been surviving.
Constantly thinking that it was all my fault and maybe if I wasn't around my family would be different or I'm a horrible daughter for treating them this way, for cutting them out, for not speaking to them.
I've still have a long, long way to go. For anyone out there struggling with this too, I'm not going to lie, it is difficult and it is painful.
But I wouldn't change this struggle for anything. I found my inner child and I am learning to cherish her. I have an imagination again, I'm laughing genuinely for the first time in a long time. And that is beautiful. #PTSD #Parents #Alcoholism #pyschologicalabsue #MentalHealth #boundaries

My mom calling my dad an Effing Coward, them calling each other names my mom especially putting him now, sister and mom fighting, me and my mom lately not getting along either or avoiding each other. It’s a little hard.

I saw this question in my Wife’s office this week and I instantly thought how profound and powerful it was.
“Why am I saying yes to this?”
How many times and situations would thought have been helpful. I hate saying no to people because I don’t want to disappoint them. Yet, often by saying yes I am disappointing myself.
I intend to start asking myself this question, often.

Pause for a moment and think about all the things that are being asked of you. When we give all of our selves to so many other people and things, we are often left with no energy, time and love for ourselves. Protecting your own needs is a critical part of honoring your self worth.
It's not only "okay" to say no to things that do not serve us, it is our obligation to our own self-care and peace to decide how to use our energy, time and resources. Boundaries are self-care in action.
