Boundaries PART 3: Expect Discomfort (And Don’t Back Down Because of It)
Setting boundaries can feel awkward, selfish, or tense. But peace isn’t free; it’s earned through moments of unease you don’t run from.
What kind of peace are you willing to be uncomfortable for?
The last couple of days, we focused on clarity and consistency. Now comes the part that trips most people up—the discomfort that shows up when boundaries actually start working.
Setting boundaries can feel awkward, selfish, or tense, especially if you’ve spent years prioritizing others over yourself. That discomfort doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong—it usually means you’re doing something new. Growth almost always feels uncomfortable before it feels empowering.
Peace isn’t free; it’s earned through moments of unease you don’t run from. When you hold a boundary despite the awkward silence, the internal resistance, or the fear of being misunderstood, something powerful happens. You realize you can survive discomfort—and that your well-being is worth it. Temporary tension is a small price to pay for long-term peace.
Be Positive, and have an amazing day.
