Sometimes we set boundaries because we feel vulnerable, attacked, underappreciated, or other.<\/p>\n
Boundary setting is a self-protective move to defend ourselves from some threats. It tends to be proactive, yet occasionally it can become too reactive.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s maybe not immediately think we know why something is happening. Or even not happening for that matter.<\/p>\n
I try very hard to not overthink things or let my mind control my inner peace. As a middle aged person, it is more difficult for sure. I have a past, a present and a future to deal with. This can cause anxiety, right? I am learning to breathe better, exercise more, and focus on what gives me comfort, as well as to let inspiration guide me when it chooses to.<\/p>\n
It is a start, at least. Awareness and some determination. Perhaps some acceptance, too, when necessary, to take the weight off our backs for a while. That\u2019s when we really learn how to fully breathe.<\/p>\n
