I can improve the situation by learning about healthy boundaries and encouraging those around me to exercise their own need for healthy boundaries.

How others react is not necessarily a reflection of myself, but of their current place in life.

If another has a problem with me, it is THEIR problem, not mine.

The emotions and well being of others are not my responsibility. It is their responsibility to tell me if there is a problem, or if what I am doing harms them.

It will be OK.

Everything is temporary.

I am making progress. This is my journey. There will be good parts and bad parts, easy parts and difficult parts.

I will honor and appreciate those who are there for me. I will forgive and let go those who are not.

I can accept that no one person can be there for me in every situation.

Some people can be there for me in one situation but cannot be there for me in a different situation and that is OK.

I am making progress.

I come first.


Detia,

Thanks LOADS for the expressions you shared. They are so healthy. So much of what you expressed relates to issues I need to work on. I think I will print out and save your post. Thanks again!
Thanks for this!
