MONDAY : WHERE ARE YOUR BOUNDARIES IN THE BODY?
This week, we are exploring boundaries. Not only as something we say with words.Not only as “no.”Not only as a wall. Boundaries also live in the body. They live in the way we sense. The way we speak. The way we reach. The way we stop. The way we protect. The way we contain. The way we choose. The way we stay flexible without collapsing. The way our feet meet the ground. This is not about judging yourself. This is about noticing. 👉 1. SENSES Your eyes, ears, skin, nose, and mouth. What do you let in? What feels too loud, too much, too close? 👉 2. VOICE Your throat, jaw, tongue, and mouth. Can your voice say yes? Can your voice say no? Can your voice ask for time? 👉 3. REACH Your arms and hands. Where do you overextend? Where do you reach because you love, and where do you reach because you feel responsible for everything? 👉 4. EDGE Your skin, your personal space, the field around you. Can you feel where you end and someone else begins? 👉 5. PROTECTION Your shoulders, ribs, jaw, and back body. Where does your body brace? Where does it armor? Where does it say, “I need safety”? 👉 6. CONTAINMENT Your ribs, belly, pelvis, breath. Can you hold your own emotions without leaking them everywhere or swallowing them completely? 👉 7. DISCERNMENT Your belly, gut, heart, and inner listening. Can you feel the difference between desire, fear, guilt, obligation, and truth? 👉 8. CHOICE Your pelvis, legs, and feet. Can you step closer? Can you step back? Can you pause before answering? 👉 9. FLEXIBILITY Your spine, joints, and breath. Can your boundary move and respond, without disappearing? 👉 10. GROUND Your feet and legs, contact with the floor. Do you feel supported enough to have a boundary? ‼️This week’s practice: ASK & OBSERVE‼️ Once a day, pause for one minute and ask: Where do I feel my boundaries in my body today? Where do I override them? Where do I say yes when my body is already saying no? Where do I become rigid when I actually need support? Where can I soften 5% without abandoning myself?

This feels so good to read. It’s beautiful, true, and my body is like, “ finally, someone gets it. thank you.”
What do you catch yourself repeating the most?
“I’m behind.” “I’m not doing enough.” “I need to push more.” The body hears this as instruction. Jaw tightens.Breath shortens.System braces. The shift is not one powerful thought. It’s what you repeat daily. Try this today: “I notice.” “I soften.” “I don’t need to hold this right now.” Repeat it a few times.Notice what changes. Most of what we call “being blocked”is actually a pattern we practice every day. Not just in the body…but in how we talk to ourselves 👉 Curious—what do you catch yourself repeating the most?

I feel like I try so hard every day from the moment I wake up to do everything “right and perfect” for my healing journey and if I don’t, I will backslide or have a setback so there’s a lot of pressure I put on myself to do everything perfectly. Sometimes I go to sleep and I’m thinking I could’ve done one extra exercise, etc… It’s never enough.

After severe jaw surgery and years in darkness from nervous system sensitization, I’m slowly teaching my body light and life is safe again.
