Series one:
ON BOUNDARIES
Strong back. Soft Front. Wild Heart. - Brené Brown
The above saying resonates strongly with the current series on boundaries.
- How do we show up in life for ourselves and our loved ones?
- When do we soften our boundaries yet live in alignment with our core values?
- How and when do we allow ourselves to open our hearts, be vulnerable and when do we contain ourselves?
- When life hits us with sudden and heavy losses how do we show compassion to ourselves?
And in spite of being hurt, how do we still allow our hearts to stay open to love while protecting ourselves from getting hurt further.
Knowing our boundaries is fundamental if we want to move through life with integrity and responsibility. It is fundamental if we want a good life, a fulfilling and meaningful existence in which we all can exist in harmony with our immediate and greater surroundings. The fundamental pillar that boundaries rest on is knowing oneself and then pulling from that knowledge to springboard into different avenues in life. From this, we can achieve meaning and fulfillment, which results into living a better life.
In this series, together we will take a journey of exploration into the wilderness of our soul, sifting through the fundamentals of our core values. This will result in reaching a mindset from which we can gauge our boundaries, from which we can integrate the different and often unfamiliar circumstances that life throws at us.
