When You Show Up In Your Glow Up
The beginning of the practice of having Abundant Boundaries is like wearing that audacious new outfit representing a brand new style for you. It's confronting to carry yourself to new standards of excellence. It defies the expectations of those who think they know you.
When you begin to move through the world with more responsibility, you reveal to your loved ones the way that unexpected things churn beneath your surface, the way that they do not and cannot know all of what is alive within you.
Since this is a scary prospect to a loved one who may be attached to the idea that they know you, they innocently tend to double down and remind you to be the person they've known.
They might make jokes about your new outfit and your new style and your decision to switch it up.
They might try to cut you down to the size that's always been comfortable for them.
They might suggest you are trying to be better than someone else.
This is not personal, and you do not have to own it or engage with it.
None of this is contemptible. It is all innocent. It is simply a phase through which you will be durable, subject to testing in your new way of being. Are you resolute in claiming this new style for yourself?
If you are, you'll smile at their innocence from under the brim of your enormous feathered hat. You'll feel no need to engage in their teasing, because you have a WAY to stay focused on. Your way. The way you have chosen for yourself, when it seemed for so long you had to accept and somehow reshape what you inherited.
If you're going to get Abundantly Boundaried, get ready to feel this audacity and have it reflected back at you from the world. If you are going to overhaul your experiences of relationships, it's gonna rock the boat a little.
Lucky this way gives you a boat that can take it.
Your refinement of your experience and expression is going to challenge the people who keep limits on their own joy, who tamp down the flow of their own love, but if you hold to it, it might be the inspiration they need to claim their own most exquisite experience.
