Boundaries

Lenaye8 November 1st

one thing that sometimes is hard to enforce yet is hugh key needed for mental health and clarity. Last night me and my sister set a boundary. Mine hands down is if I am sleepy do not ask me to come outside, my innerg is low due to lack of sleep since my days have become longer with studying. Take that into cnsideration that my time frame now is different than before. My leisure is when I give my self that outside of my motherly duties. That our kids are into two diff age groups so follow suit. Since my sister is older/ has more freedom now to explore life I told her go out and enjoy ya life frfr. If I do go out wye have to be fully awake or have my own funds to get home. Right now I am still securing a consistent job while doing yoga gigs. It is the slow pace start right now, so I do not burn out. We both have to be mindful of how our life is flowing now. That is the part my sister tends to miss when we talk. *Exhales* the big difference is she has a car and I am saving for mine. My days are longer on foot/metro so my body pushes out more innerg than being in a car. Yes my health is great yet my feet hurt!! Eyem glad we had that talk cuz eye rather go out when I want to not just b/c she want’s my company on her time.

very proud of you for setting boundaries! one of the toughest and most necessary things to do, especially with those you're close to and are regular parts of your life.

Glad tp hear that you rather pay attention more to your studies then go out. I am at that age that going out isnt me anyway. I guess when I was younger and going out was a big thing I never did it anyway. Keep up the hard work and it will pay off in the lo g run

Glad you and your sister were open and understanding of that boundary. I’m in school now and my sister just finished so it’s totally relateable. Good luck with school, hang in there and prioritize self care during times when you have to shut off that brain.


I get defensive of the word “boundary”. It’s so commonly said but not used appropriately. Thanks for sharing this great example!
