Do you know what’s in your or ? 🔎
Go Tell It on the Mountain by The U.S. Army Band
"When we’re able to focus on the things we want in our lives and protect those, it changes how we see boundaries. It’s no longer about keeping people out, but about protecting that which we love within, including ourselves. But in order to do that, you first have to believe that you are deserving of things worth protecting. Otherwise, people who do not have your best interests will convince you that they deserve access to you and will treat you how they see fit." - Courtney Boyer
In our new article, Courtney Boyer highlights the importance of boundaries and explains reasons why, despite your best intentions, they may not have worked out. By understanding how you set boundaries in your past and focusing on what is important to you in your present, Boyer shows how you can make your boundaries stick and live from a place of love for yourself and those you hold dear.
Courtney is the founder of Courtney Boyer Coaching. She is a clinically trained mental health and s*x therapist turned Success Coach & Reiki Practitioner. She believes the mind and body are inextricably linked, and when re-aligned, allow us to elevate to our next level.
