I write this from my bed as I have my restful August Break, I review the last month so and you know what is interesting? Every time I need a break my boundaries or energy become blurred.
Or I feel I get really pissed off with people very easily ….The truth is that my sensitivity is heightened because I am tired and have come to a natural pause for that season. So I attract vibrationally boundary breakers you know those people who push boundaries because they have very blurred boundaries and are on the drama triangle, of rescuing.
And so after encountering a few of them in July I had to work what the hell was going on.
I have been living my life according to the seasons for years and so in July (also my birthday month) I naturally slow down.
Every year I have an August Break normally a whole month but this year I am taking two weeks because since I have scaled my business, I have space in my week to do nothing so here I am allowing all the stuff to really come up before the next season. So my time has been pampering myself and having all sorts of care Osteopath, pedicures, etc and so my thoughts are around the fact that I no longer actually want to be the SAVIOUR this is a rescuing role and so moving forward. My helping role is my job and NOT my social time, as I realised that there has been a bleed through that I thought I had overcome.
So I did my thought work
After doing my thought work * I concluded that my thoughts that people were violating my boundaries I was feeling worthless, and this was the inner child. Why did this happen? well, the inner child comes out when we are tired, not in joy and do not listen to ourselves and our bodies.
So I decided despite the requests and requirements of others I love and approve of myself, and I can decide to say yes or no to a request regardless of what the other person thinks of me.
That everybody is a reflection this I know since my plant medicine journey (more on that in another blog) and so just look at what is happening in your life and you will see what your thoughts are co creating.
So to summarize
I support myself through whatever decision I make in my work even if the receiver does not approve.
I choose to walk this path and keep my professional boundaries in place, which means clients and social life has to be separate.
I am getting an assistant and from September 30th all queries will be filtered through her, even WhatsApp will be for personal use only.
I am no longer be available for blurred boundaries queries or questions if you want advice or my time book a strategy session.
Strategy session availability will be released every season (every three months) and I will only have 10 1 hour sessions available and 5 x 2-hour sessions, once these sessions are full there will be a waiting list.
Coaching sessions are a package and I only have four spaces available in September so again once those spaces are gone there will be a waiting list.
Let me know what you are experiencing with boundaries.
