By setting boundaries, we take responsibility for our lives and ensure that our needs are met. It's not about being aggressive or difficult, but rather about asserting our needs and desires with confidence and clarity. The Role of Self-Image in Boundary Setting: We must recognize that we are not defined by others' opinions of us and that we have the right to set boundaries. By shifting our beliefs and embracing self-compassion, we can begin the journey toward setting healthy boundaries and reclaiming our power. Overcoming Guilt and Fear: Cristiana emphasizes the power of self-compassion and self-forgiveness in overcoming these emotions. It's essential to acknowledge that setting boundaries is a process, and it's okay if we haven't set boundaries in the past. By gradually setting boundaries and allowing ourselves to feel empowered, we can break free from the patterns that have held us back.
