  • Many of us grow up learning to please others, to give up our personal space to ensure others are OK before we take care of ourselves. We violate our personal space and drop our boundaries in order to avoid offending others, maybe we walk on eggshells attempting to keep the peace, forgetting we are betraying ourselves in the process. This meditation is to teach others how we want to be treated. It’s a meditation that re-programs our misbeliefs about ourselves and helps us to learn how to improve our sense of self and how to set boundaries.

    Thank You love your channel.
    You have everything that I have need. I am a 71 year old man I have been divorced 3 times. I have been single for 19 months. I have never grieved. I am just now starting to find myself. I now know why my relationship never lasted. I was the child and very codependent. Thank You very much for your time and love for others. Thank You with the love of myself that I am finding self love. With my love to you. Thank You ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. 7 hearts are for when I growing. I had a love loss and she was my mother. Amen

    I saw my being inside the bubble dancing and taking space, while all the people that don’t respect my boundaries were around the bubble unable to come in. That visualization help me believe that I have the power to protect my being and limits.

    I have just started to understand the importance of boundaries and it's importance in day to day lives, as i am trying to state my boundaries to near ones, they have been acting out, and telling me, as if i am wrong and self centered which makes me feel sad, but i am just in a learning phase, and i am going to give grace to myself, for doing it, with patience and kindness...
    Thank you so much...
    I will be returning back to this..

    Thank you so much for this meditation. I had first listened to it probably more than a year ago. But today I received a text from my supervisor that immediately cause me to feel anxiety and tightness in my chest. And this is after doing years of trauma therapy. As I searched to find a meditation to help me in the moment UA-cam reminded me of your meditation. And I was so happy because it was exactly I mean exactly what I needed! Boundaries.
    I work at a job where we have been short staffed for over a year. Worse still is the shift I work is to cover the office hours until closing. Mind you, no one else has this shift but me. Normally that is not a problem but whenever I need to take time off to see a doctor or have vacation or call out sick, there's always a feeling of pressure or blame. It's like that shift becomes known as my shift instead of the operating hours of the office.
    And I've worked so hard to overcome that feeling I feel. And sometimes I think oh well it's just in my head and I have child drama so that has to be stirring up some of it. But then again I think no because there are open conversations among many workers how stressful it is when they have to cover and they even say it: my shift. But it's not mine. And it's always so much easier said than done, for that angst not to rise in my chest whenever a situation comes up.
    For context, today there's an event that 3 of us in the office signed up to volunteer for. It's a part of our job and approved by the president/CEO as work approved. If people are volunteering there shouldn't be a problem with any lack in coverage or we shouldn't be told that we can't volunteer because that's the whole point of it being work approved by the person who holds the top position at our job, the CEO & president. Someone could have easily put a sign on the office door days in advance saying--our office we will be closed on this day due to an approved off-site volunteer event-- 3 people volunteered and 2 did not. Of course I'm not surprised between those 2 workers who work until 3:30 and never volunteer for anything, neither can cover the operating office hours until 5pm. It has been months since everyone was aware of this volunteering event, yet no one planned any coverage or backup coverage. I even sent a team message on this past Tuesday informing everyone what my work shift would be due the volunteering event today. Of which my supervisor actually came out of her office and thanked me because she said I was the only one who had did that for her. Whispering: another reminder to her of this volunteering event. Then Wednesday we had the day off for the Juneteenth holiday. And now today, Thursday, is the day of the event and I won't arrive at the office until 12 because I'm volunteering 3 - 8.
    But why then did I receive a text from my supervisor this morning asking if I could #1 change the shift I was volunteering for (there were 2, 11-3 or 3-8) and #2 if I were to switch the shift for volunteered for and then asked if I could come back to the office and work until 5:00! To give historical perspective here, anytime in the past when someone volunteers for a significant amount of time, and it ends at 3:00 or 3:30 no one ever is expected to swing back around to the job and finish their shift. No one comes back to the office and works until 4:00 or 4:30, never.
    So now that I explained all this hopefully you can understand why when I read her text that it immediately made me feel an overwhelming tightness in my chest and I couldn't think about anything else but what my supervisor was asking me to do! And that's why I was searching frantically for a meditation and stumbled across yours thankfully♡♡♡. And now that I wrote all of this, I'm actually able to think and see more clearly. My supervisor might be being triggered herself in some way or maybe she automatically thinks lower of me and doesn't see the issue or problem of her asking me the day of to make such a huge adjustment. And it was the timing of her text as well.
    Because I chose the volunteering shift time that I did, I also planned my day around that shift. To arrive in the office at 9:00am, I wake at 6:15. But my supervisor sent the text less than 10 minutes before 9am. How could that even be feasible for me? And then after volunteering a work-approved event where it's supposed to be 100° scorching heat, working under tents, after all of that, then be expected to drive back to my job and work until 5!? I also subscribe to your adult chair podcast and the feeling I have right now is a much younger self being treated like she has no worth, almost like the fairytale Cinderella story, "yeah just make Daisy do it" is what I'm feeling in my heart and it hurts. But that's the essence of trauma right? And mine was childhood trauma under the age of 1 years old with hospitalizations involved and mandated reporting. I'm 52 years old now and a licensed counselor but you know Michelle it does no good to deny our younger parts.♡ Most people wouldn't even that reaction and simply say no and that would be the end of it. Or they would completely be oblivious to their triggers and be angry all day and not know why and their central nervous system hijacked.
    Best Part: so now in closing, I'll isten to this meditation while sitting calmly and then respond to my supervisor by simply texting: "I'm sorry but I won't be able to do that with such short notice."
    With all my heart thank you so much Michelle for this meditation about boundaries. Sorry for any typos too. Take care.

    I am so glad that I have discovered you ❤. Synchronicity at its best as the issues of Boundaries came up for me today . I was so stuck to
    Understand what is happening for me ? Where has my joy for Living ? Why am I feeling this dark cloud & Stuck. Then a conversation phone call with my Husband send me over the edge 😢 I went for a Drive to get out of my head & touch base with my body . Then returned & Sat in my garden im the stillness asking for Devine Guidance & You arrived . So Inner Child & Boundaries resonated with me immediately & now as I go forward I will play them Daily , to remind me to protect myself & be aware of the 2ft for my own grounded ness & well being. Th❤nk You . T
