Everyone is entitled to their boundaries. It's your birthright. It's your body, and it's your mind. Your energy field and you are meant to be in charge of them. Your boundaries are your responsibility. If you're not implementing your boundaries, no-one is going to do it for you, and without boundaries you will frequently end up feeling energy depleted and vulnerable.

Picture the person who has a problem with setting boundaries. It could be your friend, your family member, or perhaps, it’s you. They never seem to have any time for themselves, they’re always the one waiting for their perpetually late friend, they’re the recipient of their sibling’s endless problem dump sessions, they often pick up the slack for their coworkers, and they’re easily talked into “just one more drink” by that friend who enjoys a tipple a little too much.

On my daily walk, I love to stop and admire a particular tree. This one is majestic and speaks to my heart with its beauty. But not only that, my daily reflections by this tree remind me of some valuable life lessons.

Social anxiety, angry outbursts (or inbursts!), and self-destructive behaviours are just a few examples of the ways in which our wayward Inner Child presents itself. It can also be behind the reason we find ourselves being taken advantage of, or in bad relationships over and over again.
