It’s uncomfortable and harmful, so we usually avoid doing that.
Just like sunglasses help us safely handle sunlight, clear, gentle boundaries help us safely handle life.
Even though we often avoid making these boundaries, they are important for healthy connections.
Feeling overwhelmed or worried about setting limits?
Here’s why:
Setting boundaries can feel scary because we worry about losing connection Boundaries aren’t about pushing others away. Boundaries are about letting in just enough connection so a healthy relationship can happen.
Spiritually, it’s the same:
G-d’s kindness is powerful and never-ending. He gives us boundaries so His kindness doesn’t overwhelm us—allowing us to exist and connect safely.
Next time you set a boundary, remember:
Take a deep breath.
Quietly say, “Thank you, G-d, for your boundaries that keep me safe and connected.”
When setting a boundary, try this simple phrase:
“This boundary helps me stay calm and connected.”
Remember:
Compassionate boundaries from G-d help you safely connect and live your best life.
