For years, I found myself overextending in my relationships, trying to fix or rescue others, hoping they would love me back in return. I said yes when I wanted to say no, all to keep the peace and avoid confrontation. But the more I ignored my own needs and emotions, the more resentful and disconnected I felt. This happened because I didn't know the difference between being responsible for others vs. being responsible to them.
This week, I'd like to share my thoughts about this distinction and show you how to set healthy boundaries. You'll learn how to reclaim your power, show up more authentically in your relationships, and experience greater joy and fulfillment. We'll also explore the consequences of having poorly defined boundaries, the struggle that heart-centered people face when setting limits, and the ego's false sense of responsibility.
Embracing the power of boundaries is a transformative journey that will not only enhance your relationships, but also deepen your connection with yourself.

Be a Thermometer, Not a Thermostat
So much of emotional health and resilience comes down to the ability (and willingness) to take full responsibility for your feelings, and let others take full responsibility for theirs.
Lara Hogan:
“I like to use the metaphor of a thermometer and a thermostat for this idea. If you’re looking for signals about how someone is feeling, it’s kind of like you’re trying to take their emotional temperature. You’re being a thermometer. When they’re subtly giving off weird vibes—they’re frowning, answering your questions with fewer words than normal, etc.—you’ve noticed that their temperature is different… And since we know that one person’s behavior change can cause others to change their behavior in response, we can think of it like they’re being a thermostat: they’re setting the whole temperature for the room… Rather than let that cycle play out subconsciously, you have an opportunity to become the thermostat as soon as you notice that another person’s temperature has changed. You get to set the new temperature of the room, in a positive and healthy way.”
