“The real flex is training your mind to be stronger than your feelings and your boundaries to be stronger than your empathy.”

Patterns are information
They show you how someone consistently shows up and what they prioritize.
Let that information guide where you place your boundaries.
– By Alyssa (Lia) Mancao / tinybuddha.com




We get to choose.
We get to choose our thoughts.
We get to choose who we spend our energy on.
We get to choose how we show up in life.
We get to choose who we want to be.
We get to choose how we express ourselves.
We get to choose who we love.
We get to choose where we place our boundaries.
We get to choose so many things we didn’t realize were ours to choose.
Please meditate and ponder on the thoughts on this page and ask yourself how you can keep adding to the abundance that is growing within yourself. What next steps would be helpful to you? What are a couple of small things you can start to work on adding or deleting from your life?
Remember this: You are worthy
You are worthy of love.
You are worthy of respect.
You are worthy of being healthy.
You are worthy of being happy.
You are worthy of being at peace.
You are worthy of liking and loving yourself.

All of these are so accurate. A lot of our physical and mental health issues stem from trauma and other things we’ve held on to over the years. Working on yourself makes the biggest difference. And boundaries are an absolute must, I know it can be so uncomfortable but we have to protect ourselves too.

Yes, you’ve absolutely. Becoming aware is the first step, and then learning all we can is the next. Putting it into practice is the hardest part but the best part. I’m a huge supporter of your journey, kudos!

That opening line “boundaries stronger than your empathy.” is just so good. And I think that’s such a specific and useful way to put it, because empathy is exactly where most of us leak. We feel too much for someone and the boundary quietly dissolves before we even noticed it was there.
Thank you for this one, Tamara ❤️

That one seems to resonate the most with the empaths I know. We do “leak” as you say, and that’s exactly where manipulators are expecting us to give in. It’s not being unkind when we learn where our boundaries are and gently enforce them!

All terrific advice. The one about being overwhelmed particularly resonated with me. Almost as much as the inner peace one. 🙂 (I had to go back and check because I thought, Wait, there was one even better, in my mind. 🙂 )

Help in my healing process came through my connection with others: people who cared. With purpose came a sense of worthiness. Our choices, as you’ve outlined, do matter for healing from trauma, but often require a change in our working or living conditions. Such major changes took time for me, as I felt more comfortable with what I already knew. The unknown terrified me.

I totally understand the fear of the unknown. The choices we make do change our lives so profoundly. Even choosing to set healthy boundaries in our lives can deeply affect our lives moving forward. We owe it to ourselves, and we aren’t being disloyal by no longer being available to be walked in. Bravo to you, for taking the steps you need to!

These ideas are appealing to the extent that our only purpose is the well-being of the self. That is where I get stuck, despite the fact that the self has great importance. Where does our fellow man, our community, and repairing the world fit in? Thanks, Tamara.

My whole mission on this platform is to help the individual find ways to heal and to develop. Of course I would hope that one’s efforts would ripple outwardly to others, indeed I have mentioned that numerous times. I don’t mention that in every post, as I feel that would be repetitive, and this post felt more like a personal journey than an outward one. Developing healthy boundaries, taking ownership for one’s actions and for how we speak to one another builds a foundation for a healthier person, and in turn for a healthier community. I believe world change will come when we collectively learn and grow. Will there still be despots and authoritarianism? Probably. That’s not what I aim to tackle here.
