Your Boundaries Matter

he last few weeks my mind has been running faster than time, worrying about situations and scenarios that put my emotional and mental stability in danger zone, and that could possibly trigger my insecurities and fears to take control of me, as at some point happened in the most vulnerable moments of my life. But then I remembered this quote I read somewhere and it helped me to cope with my emotions.

I realized that all those imaginary scenarios in which I constantly find myself overwhelmed and emotionally confronted, are actually scenarios that are in my control since I’m the one who has the decision if I want to put myself in that position. And I recalled what my therapist said about how it is important to recognize if I’m not ready to challenge those boundaries as they’re actually good for my mental health. So I thought it would be nice to share this thought with anybody who has been struggling to set up any kind of personal boundaries, be it emotional, physical or time-related, becase all of them are important. 🪴👁💧
