Stand up for yourself. There are many times we find ourselves feeling walked on, and hear the voices of love and long suffering in our heads, giving justification to our treatment and not standing up for ourselves. This is not in alignment with the truth of who we are and to create value with in ourselves. It is important to have healthy boundaries and the understanding of how to enforce them. If we do not have proper value for how we see ourselves, the way we implement and enforce boundaries becomes a practice in futility and we give up. When we give in, we leave ourselves exposed and unsafe. It is important to stand up for ourselves and to have powerful and healthy boundaries. The word "NO" can be a loving word in our vocabulary because it can and will keep everyone safe.
