Set boundaries with love from "summary" of Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies by Tara Schuster
Setting boundaries with love means saying no when you need to say no, and saying yes when you want to say yes. It means communicating your needs and desires clearly and honestly, without fear of judgment or rejection. It means taking care of yourself first, so that you can show up fully for others. It means recognizing when someone is crossing a boundary, and gently but firmly redirecting them. When we set boundaries with love, we are acting from a place of self-respect and self-worth. We are acknowledging that our needs are just as important as anyone else's, and that it is not selfish to prioritize our own well-being. In fact, it is essential. By setting boundaries with love, we are showing ourselves the compassion and care that we deserve. Setting boundaries with love also means being compassionate towards others. It means understanding that everyone has their own struggles and limitations, and that sometimes those struggles may cause them to overstep or disregard our boundaries. Instead of reacting with anger or resentment, we can respond with empathy and understanding. We can communicate our boundaries clearly and assertively, while also being open to listening and finding a compromise. In order to set boundaries with love, we must first cultivate a deep sense of self-awareness. We must be willing to examine our own needs, fears, and desires, and to be honest with ourselves about what we truly want and need. This self-awareness allows us to set boundaries that are authentic and meaningful, rather than arbitrary or reactive. Setting boundaries with love is not always easy. It requires courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to be uncomfortable. It may be met with resistance or pushback, both from others and from within ourselves. But the more we practice setting boundaries with love, the more empowered and liberated we will feel. We will no longer be at the mercy of others' expectations or demands, but will be able to live our lives on our own terms, with integrity and grace.
