The old me would have stayed in the fight

We were driving on our free day when the fight broke loose.

Usually it happens between the kids, yet this time it was hubby and me.

We went on with a topic that was all flames and gasoline.

There were a lot of emotions in the car.

And there wasn't much space left for understanding the words that were communicated between us.

The usual misunderstanding scene, in other words.

When after a little while we made peace with each other and apologised we agreed to take a pause with that topic.

Meanwhile, I also realized one thing.

How my business has taught me profoundly to understand healthy boundaries in relationships.

While growing as a person through my personal development journey, I've learned where my boundaries go.

That was one reason why I fell in love with the social selling business model in the first place - ninety percent of the work is personal development.

As that topic brought up a lot of negative thoughts and very little understanding I went on to protect the peace between us two.

As the topic had to do mostly with me I could set a healthy boundary around it.

I decided to enter that discussion next time only through certain peace ensuring boundaries to protect our connection.

After communicating that I took ownership of my own emotions in that area.

I decided how to move on and deal with my own negative thoughts around that topic.

If this scene would have happened a few years back, I would have stayed in the fight and kept on harming our relationship.

Seeing the growth that you're embracing is such a beautiful thing.

When you habitually set healthy boundaries, you understand how deeply their only purpose is to protect what is valuable between you and the other person.

How boundaries are not set to hurt others or keep them away from your life.

But to actually cherish the love and respect you have for each other.

That way there is space for different opinions and that deep peace between you two.

What is an area where you've seen your own growth lately?

It might help to even see some old pictures of yourself to realize how far you've come.

Cherish and champion the new you who is growing within.

Love,
