From The Language of Letting Go thread:

JANUARY 2

You are reading from the book "The Language of Letting Go."

Healthy Limits

Boundaries are vital to recovery. Having and setting healthy limits is connected to all phases of recovery: growing in self esteem, dealing with feelings, and learning to really love and value ourselves.

Boundaries emerge from deep within. They are connected to letting go of guilt and shame and to changing our beliefs about what we deserve. As our thinking about this becomes clearer, so will our boundaries.

Boundaries are also connected to a Higher Timing than our own. We'll set a limit when we're ready and not a moment before. So will others.

There's something magical about reaching that point of becoming ready to set a limit. We know we mean what we say; others take us seriously too. Things change, not because we're controlling others, but because we've changed.

Today I will trust that I will learn, grow, and set the limits I need in my life at my own pace. This timing need only be right for me.

A January bump. Maybe a great idea for a yearly ritual. ❤️

Appreciation of these threads and honeypig

I'm circling around to a healthy focus of me following an extended face-morally-degrading-there-is-no-justification-of-abuse, I'm allowing self-care, growth, personal power.

honeypig, if you're around, many blessings and immense gratitude. You've made a difference in my journey. Thank you. Again. & again.

Mango/nike, thanks for the appreciation. I took a break for about a year, and it's good to see that some of the work I did in the past is still of use to other folks.
