This lesson yesterday from The Book of Awakening has to be the one that many years ago jarred my world the most. And it continues to stick in my mind and cause me to observe carefully my interactions with others. It made me look much more closely at how I do or don’t communicate my needs, and how I might be manipulating others instead of having good boundaries and taking the risk of as Mark says, being hurt.

Give it a read and see how it lands. Maybe some people might not think it is a big deal or much of an issue. I’ve discovered in my quest to have better boundaries, and by seeing my friends to the same, that if yours have been weak, you might overcompensate and can come off as seeming harsh or overprotective of your time and energy. I think it takes time and practice to balance it out. What’s your experience? How directly do you live?
