With this profound awareness,
property line dispute began to look like a gift. We were both awed at
way things show up in life to offer valuable lessons.
What’s happening in your outer world that might point to an opportunity to learn something about yourself? Where are you crossing your own internal boundaries and projecting them as “problems” with
world?
Here are a few suggestions to help you clarify your own boundaries:
1. Look for
irritations in your own life. Where does it appear as if
problem lies outside of you? Take a look at what boundaries you might want to set for yourself.
2. It’s often not enough to just “set” your boundary; you need to communicate it as well. What good is having a boundary if no one knows about it?
3. Ask for help in maintaining your boundaries or your commitments to yourself. Can you enlist
support of a friend or loved one to help keep you on track?
4. Be flexible with your boundaries. Having a wall around you isn’t
goal. The intention of boundaries is to remind yourself that you deserve what’s important to you.
As
session came to a close my client knew what he needed to do, both inside and out. He was already seeing creative ways to address and resolve
conflict with his neighbor as well as reinstate
practices that kept him balanced and focused.
I could sense his relief in having
boundary lines clear after many years of tension. He went on his way feeling better and looking forward to living what he learned. Not only do good fences make good literal neighbors, they make us good neighbors within our self as well.
It’s YOUR life…imagine
possibilities!
