Women’s boundaries are rarely considered tangible…why? 🚩

In the simplest terms, setting boundaries is the ability to say “no” without guilt or discomfort and equally the ability to “hear” the no when it is said, without arguments or pressure. 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↔️

It is definitely one of the most important aspects of our lives, with a huge impact on our relationships, our self esteem and our sense of personal safety.
But setting and maintaining boundaries is also possibly one of the most difficult things to learn to do, especially for women because it comes with so much guilt attached. Can you relate?

Centuries of being seen as the “property” of the men in their lives (father/husband/son), women were not seen as autonomous beings with the right to set boundaries and for the larger part of society women’s boundaries still remain an alien concept. As a result, most women, especially when it comes to partners, still approach this with guilt, awkwardness and uncertainty. We’ve all been there, set a boundary and immediately gone back on it because we felt guilty for setting on in the first place!

“Setting boundaries” and knowing that you have the “right to set boundaries” is the difference between how seriously the world will take us. Whether it is in reaction to an unreasonable demand or simply out of a need for self care, you have every right to decide how much of yourself and your space you wish to share.

Protect your peace!!! ❤️💪
