Reflection: Boundaries or Walls?
Today’s prompt was:
Where do I need stronger boundaries?
What came up surprised me.
I’ve set a lot of boundaries… and I’ve been standing on them boldly.
But what I’m realizing is that now I need to look at where they’re coming from.
Are they coming from clarity?
Or fear?
From self-respect?
Or from protecting myself from abandonment, rejection, and old trauma?
Right now, my life is very safe.
Very controlled.
Very quiet.
And while that has protected me, it’s also kept me in a cycle of comfort.
Some of my boundaries have turned into walls.
From the outside, they probably look rigid or demanding.
From the inside, they feel like control.
I’m in a place where I can’t keep playing small just to avoid being embarrassed or let down.
I have to trust myself to make the right choices and allow life to unfold — even when it’s messy.
Even in chaos, something great can happen.
Even when I’m not perfect, I can still show up.
A lot of my boundaries were built to:
• control my image
• avoid assumed danger
• protect myself from the unknown
And while they made sense before…
they don’t fully serve who I am now.
So my release today is this:
I release boundaries built from fear.
And my receive is this:
Boundaries built from trust.
From discernment.
From self-respect instead of self-protection.
I want life to happen for me, not to me.
And that means showing up as a human first — flawed, learning, and evolving.
If you’re reflecting too, ask yourself:
Which of your boundaries are healthy…
and which ones are actually walls?
