how I set a boundary with people who continue to not listen to my limits: ‘you’re welcome to explain why you think I should be pressured to do something I’m not comfortable with.’ asking people to explain themselves on the spot often makes them realize how unreasonable they sound. respect my boundaries or prepare to justify yours.

the amount of times i’ve had to say “i know you mean well, but you’re overstepping and crossing boundaries.” and the amount of times that people respond with “but i was just trying to..”

you don’t have to try. the second i say something once or say no, it’s no. stop pushing.

you think you’re being kind but you’re about to get cut off due to a lack of boundaries and devaluing what i said the first time. considering yourself more than what i actually said. that’s not kind. it’s not for me. it’s to make yourself feel better

Saying no can be difficult for the reformed people pleaser but it’s imperative to know that doing so doesn’t equate to letting people down — those who respect you will appreciate your honesty & boundaries, understanding that we all have different priorities.

You change your life by changing your standards and what you will and won’t accept for yourself both from yourself and others. It all comes back to what you think you deserve and what you’re willing to tolerate — difference between wanting and having.

Cultivating high standards is not merely a form of self discipline but an act of self love; where you hold yourself in high regard and your values, actions and thoughts reflect this accordingly — standards reflect the relationship you have with yourself.

You influence others the most by living the values you wish others to embody, in the moments you stay true to what matters regardless of others opinions, when you’re a first hand example of the benefits they could experience — when your happiness is obvious beyond doubt.

Stop keeping your standards low to keep others comfortable; also stop keeping your standards low to keep yourself comfortable — growth requires periods of discomfort to ultimately allow your expansion to occur.

Acknowledging self-sabotage, reframing limiting beliefs, getting rid of your excuses, being receptive to feedback, seeking out guidance, staying humble and inquisitive. Essentials for growth — metamorphosis.

If you want others to respect your boundaries, you must respect and uphold them first — it starts with you & you set the standard.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is lay all your cards out, say the thing that’s been on your mind, be honest even when it scares you, face the things you’ve been avoiding — because by shining a light on darkness you illuminate it and find better outcomes.

Raising your standards will inadvertently show you the relationships that are meant to evolve with you — because those who cherish you will always respect your standards & growth.

If you want someone to treat you a certain way, you need to be giving yourself that exact treatment first — you set the standard for how others interact with you, ensure you give yourself the utmost respect and care.

Stop announcing what you’re going to do, start actually doing it and let the results speak for themselves — actions always speak the loudest.

Start listening to your intuition — watch it’s insights grow in frequency and volume.

A healthy woman is comfortable experiencing a full range of emotions; she does not shame or suppress them instead she acknowledges and processes them — experiencing them fully, learning from their insights & then letting them go. She might not know how to do this initially but with awareness, guidance and humility she learns how to identify, process and better herself from such experiences.

You need to have standards for the way you let people treat you because if someone has you questioning, uncertain or feeling unsure about your relationship and you can't confirm with a simple discussion leave them be — actions speak louder than words ever could.

You get what you expect, it’s really that simple; making it imperative to cultivate high standards, reframe your limiting beliefs, incorporate a healthy bit of delusion — and ensure your thoughts, words, actions and beliefs serve you and your highest good.

It’s always a good idea to take the high road not simply because it’s the more compassionate thing to do but also because lowering your energy to meet another’s hurts you the most, if anything it’s beneath you and a waste of your precious energy — keep your standards high.

Choose your company wisely, stay mindful of those you surround yourself with, realize that not everyone will be with you on every step of your journey, not everyone should have access to you — stay selective and mindful of those you cultivate relationships with.

Staying happy requires boundaries with where you invest your energy, making it imperative to not major in minor matters; to be able to cultivate a detached view and prioritize that which is of true importance — simply, maximize what matters, minimize what doesn’t.

Stay selective of who you interact with, have standards for who you allow into your life, be private and careful with your relationships, ensure you share the same values and always trust your intuition because it knows more than we ever could — vibes never lie, energy matters.

You can be too compassionate and considerate to the point that it hinders your happiness but you should never let that turn your heart cold — use such experiences as lesson, learn to be more selective, discerning or private and keep your soul full of love, it’s a blessing.

Understand the power of privacy, of keeping your life to yourself, having a small circle, building trust and not freely giving it away, staying selective and being intentional with what you share with others — privacy is powerful.

You set the standard for how other treat you; it’s why boundaries, standards and self concept are so important because they all impact the way you expect and allow yourself to be treated — keep your vibe and standards high, ensure they serve you.

A key part of maturing is realizing you do not want to be friends with everyone, that you are better placed to have quality relationships that are high caliber mentally, spiritually and emotionally — who you surround yourself with matters.

Sometimes the most generous thing you can do is be selfish; focusing on your priorities, enforcing your boundaries, holding yourself to a higher standard and treating yourself how you expect others to treat you — filling your cup so you can pour from an overflowing chalice.

If you wouldn’t say it to or about your best friend or younger sibling don’t say it to or about yourself — self talk standards are important, speak love and growth to yourself to experience it accordingly.

Commit to always doing your best, taking pride in what you do, being a person of your word, appreciating the magnificence of your life experience & showing up as your best self daily regardless of the situation — stay unwavering to upholding your standards & alignment.

A majority of the time your standards are communicated by your vibes, the way you carry yourself and the things you focus on and discuss with others — it’s why embodiment is so important because that energy speaks as loud and sometimes louder than your words do.

A fulfilling life requires you to be able to balance intentional action with the ability to surrender — where you have a vision and focus for yourself and the life you’re creating while you’re also able to surrender to what life has in store and adapt accordingly.
