I Am Limited

I am limited and need boundaries.  It’s a fact of life I like to deny.  At times, I can overwork, overspend, overeat, over express, over care, over react, overdo ‘it’ and end up suffering the consequences from my failure to self-regulate.  Most often, my lack of balance is due to moving mindlessly through the day.

Today, I choose to mindfully recognize when a limit would be helpful.  I will remain aware of my body and the valuable information it is giving me.  I will listen to my heart and take time to hear what I need.  I will pay attention to others reactions to my behavior and notice when there is disconnect.  Rather than avoiding or denying what I discover, I will acknowledge it and take some type of action to alleviate the stress.  Setting limits for me increases my empowerment rather than diminishing it.  Saying no to me at times can really be about saying yes.
