YOU SET GOALS BUT HOW ABOUT BOUNDARIES?

This year taking time to be reflective and introspective is hard. But I have always loved New Year's Day. Just like Mondays. It is a fresh start. I always do excellent meditative exercises of what went right, what went wrong, and what I should do differently in the future. Then, deeply envision how things will look when I execute my goals. As I said, this year has been more challenging than others. I realize why. 

To continue to prosper, I must remember that I don't have to accept a situation or behavior that makes me uncomfortable. This is the hard part for me. Abundance, joy, and peace depend on setting boundaries embraced and respected by those around me. Knowing my worth and asserting what I desire is a practice that strengthens me with every attempt. Yet, I struggle with it.  

I have never actually set boundaries as part of my goal-setting ritual. I spent all of 2022 setting boundaries on the fly, and it came back at me hard. Having clarity from the start will empower me when I feel weak. 

The truth is I have overdone for many years, and when you move that line further out, not everyone likes it. So this has been a struggle all year long for me. This has put strains on some of my relationships. If people do not respect your boundaries, they likely are not worth having around. No matter who they are. A challenging but invaluable lesson I have learned. 

Setting boundaries is still new for me, and having it be an official part of my goals is a high-powered task. One that I am ready for. I aim to do this with patience and grace but also without compromise. 

I have counseled people every year that establishing boundaries for themselves and those in their life will honor their true potential. This makes room to grow and thrive. Now it is time to take my own advice. 

As we approach this new year together, we will protect ourselves by putting our needs first. I will keep you posted on my progress and hope to hear everything about yours as well.
