What are boundaries?
According to Suzanne Welstend a boundary is a line, point or plane that
indicates or fixes a limit or extent.
Boundaries are also the limits we set in relationships that allow us to
protect ourselves. Boundaries come from
having a good sense of self-worth.
Self-worth comes from defining our life as we want it to be.
As I accepted a challenge to write about boundaries this
morning my mind has been flooded with different aspects of boundaries-a letting
down of the bucket into the depths of my heart and “mining’ for nuggets.
Well the first “nugget’ was FACEBOOK.
FB gives me the opportunity to compare myself to others and
when I do that I cannot be the “me” I was created to be. I waste LOTS of time on FB. When my
navigation skills are lacking on FB I become frustrated.
Proper eating is very important for the functioning of our
bodies and our brains and without boundaries…..we can all fill in that blank.
Kind of in a small “mining pan”, boundaries for me mean, I
function at my best when I’ve protected myself against unhealthy relationships,
when I allow boundaries to keep others from defining me. Enforcing the “food monger boundary”, I’m
able to keep my body healthy, and as Jim Rohn says, “Take care of your body
because it is the only place you have to live.”
Boundaries also empower me to be the life coach I was meant to
be. As I speak the truth in love I have
no fear.. my client knows from the beginning that’s how I coach and there is no
stepping over or backing down from a boundary.
Yes I am a life coach and my mission is : “To be a beacon of
hope to everyone I come in contact with.”
That may be some of you or someone you may recommend. However they come, I want to be the best life
coach I can be and with boundaries in every area of my life, that is possible.
