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?
