One of the steps in becoming free from emotional bondage is to lay down effective boundaries that can change your life. Effective boundaries keep others out, avoid disruption and allow you to be focused and create inner peace.
But first, we need a vehicle called emotional intelligence to get us on the other side.
In a nutshell, it is to pay attention to your emotions in every possible situation, name them and honour them, and be honest with yourself. (self-awareness) “I believe that it is in resistance that we suffer and in acceptance that we thrive”
People don’t necessarily bring out the worst in us they just draw to the surface what has already been inside of us.
Instead of fighting the anger, the overwhelming feelings of hurt and anxiousness, we welcome it, we embrace it, we sit with it through breathing because the only way through is in and we have a choice over reaction versus response. Instead of fight, flight or freeze let’s acknowledge, embrace and accept. Only then, we will be able to win the battle in our minds and move forward with grace and ease.
