Boundaries & Rest

Boundaries and rest both came up in meetings that I had today. I am still exploring the ways to protect my peace and keep my body and mind safe and healthy. Maybe I am finally recognizing the importance of this? So much of my life, at least the past several years, has been about lifting others up, and supporting and nurturing others in everyway that I could possibly think of. It’s time for me to shift that focus on how I can love myself. It’s time for me to give myself that same attention and care that I’ve been giving to others. I’m learning that boundaries and rest are so important to that for me. By default, I’m in “yes” mode, giving up time for others, and taking on projects and work for others. I realize that it’s running me into the ground. Time to set boundaries, say “no,” and rest. One more week of work until vacation and more rest.
