You try to go out of the house for a while, and talk to others.

... you might be doing good self-care if

....... you remember which of your boundaries are permeable and which aren't

... you might be doing good self-care if

....... you remember the positive things that people tell you about yourself

LOL, I had a mental picture of trying to walk through a "house" wall like I could expect to and bouncing off instead :-)

Good ones, September!

You might be doing good self care if you remember to use "I" words.

Everyone has permeable boundaries, Perna. If not, then maybe they need to rethink theirs. A house wall is hardly permeable. You might be doing good self care if....

Boundaries can be thought of as firm yet flexible. Your boundary moves with you and is selectively "permeable." You are in charge of what you allow into your boundary. If something comes at you that you agree with or fits your experience of yourself, you can choose to allow it in and incorporate it into your "I" messages and self-talk. If, however, something is not a part of you or is not true for you, you can choose to leave it outside of your boundary.

If you tell your family what is wrong instead of saying "nothing" all the time.

I opened up to my husband yesterday and it actually felt good.

If you take part in some event like a local art & craft show, or flea market just for the fun of meeting new people.

You might be doing good self care if. . .

you try to use your own experiences and stories to help another, thus re-affirming their good lessons for yourself.
