In Your Next Life Chapter, Keep Your Boundaries Strong

In your next life chapter, keep your boundaries strong. When you tell someone that their behavior is unacceptable, then they can either change or head for the door. There is no negotiation when it comes to your boundaries. You should enforce them, even when it’s uncomfortable. Don’t lower your standards for someone, just because you really like them and don’t want to lose them. The right person won’t push you to change your mind or minimize your feelings or convince you that you’re acting ridiculous. They will respect your boundaries because they respect you.

In your next life chapter, don’t give into peer pressure. Don’t allow others to sway your opinion because you are allowed to form your own ones. You are allowed to make whatever decision feels the best for you, and you shouldn’t feel pressured to change your mind. You shouldn’t be trying hard to make others happy, or more comfortable, when you’re supposed to be doing what makes you the happiest and most comfortable. This is your life. You have the power to choose where it takes you. Whether or not others approve of your decision isn’t your business. They’re allowed to have their opinions – but you’re allowed to make your decisions.

In your next life chapter, refuse to lower your standards for anyone. Although it might be tempting to give certain people special treatment, you should hold even your dearest friends and family members to a high standard. You should expect them to treat you right in every situation. Kindness and respect should be the bare minimum. If they can’t even give you that, then they aren’t deserving of your time and attention. Remember, just because someone was good for you yesterday doesn’t mean they’re good for you today. People change. Situations change.

In your next life chapter, stop giving out so many chances to people who are undeserving of you. Stop letting them get away with murder, just because they’re important to you. You shouldn’t pick and choose when to enforce your boundaries based on how much someone means to you or whether you’re worried they’ll actually listen. Stand strong. Ask for what you need. The right people will rise to the occasion, and the others aren’t a great fit for you anyway.  

In your next life chapter, don’t be embarrassed to speak your mind. Don’t hesitate to share how you’re feeling, what you need, and what you won’t stand for anymore. Use your voice without fear. Speak your emotions into the universe. The right people will listen closely to what you have to say.

In your next life chapter, love yourself enough to keep your boundaries strong. Don’t let anyone talk you out of getting what you deserve. Even though it can be uncomfortable to utter the word no and draw a line in the sand, you need to show up for yourself. You need to demand more because you deserve it. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. Don’t let them destroy your boundaries because you created them for a reason and you deserve to feel comfortable. You deserve to be treated with respect.
