"If your compassion does not include yourself,

it is incomplete." — Jack Kornfield

Many of us are so conditioned towards being people-pleasers 😃 that we forget that we’re people, too. We forget that we deserve the same respect, attention and kindness 💗 that we give to others. In order to demonstrate this, we must set boundaries for ourselves. ⏹️ Things like:

~knowing what we will and will not tolerate 👍👎

~setting standards for our own health and well-being 🫶

~requiring respect 🫡

~learning to say no to people/things 🙅‍♀️

All of these qualify as setting boundaries and are necessary to live a life that allows us to embody kindness. When we start to embody kindness, we can give it more freely—to both ourselves and others. 💝

"As you get better at advocating for yourself, asking for what you need, & holding your ground, people who liked you better when you were a boundaryless, people-pleasing good girl aren’t going to like it…& that’s ok."
