Boundaries are about protecting your peace and your space (and no safety threat has to be present for them to be guarded as prevention). Boundaries take your power back, so the only people who have a problem with it likely don't want you empowered and that's not your problem. Someone wanting something from you ahead of your own goals and priorities in life and punctuality (no matter what it is that you're doing) is showing you blatant inconsideration. Establishing healthy boundaries for yourself tends to greatly unsettle the unhealthy and codependent individuals in your life. Which is perfect! Focus-related disability 101:...

*I'm speaking from my perspective, and I'm not naming any names.* ***Safe people are safe to say no to. That's the word that reveals character. We are called to guard our hearts and test the spirit.***  I don't need a "reason" to refuse to expend my limited energy or allow anyone into my circle, it's my decision. Polite courtesies are all that is owed. Proximity is never automatic trust. I don't give a rat's behind what screening people are put through, my instincts are strong. Hospitality that you cannot SAFELY refuse without ANY need to explain or defend, without any...

Your "potential" is what makes you happy, healthy, and financially secure. I am not interested in living up to anyone else's "dreams" for me, nor am I interested in "scaling up" to a level that hijacks my time off/constantly training new staff. I do what fits my health. Period. The minute my business starts to push on my gym time, streams will be cut.  If someone else wants a bigger scale business, they can go build their own. If undercutting my potential safeguards my sanity, disability, do-not-disturb time off: so be it. My business is also digital-only and by design...

Convenience (or proximity) doesn't dictate my circle, spiritual connection does. It's absolutely a choice... I rather have fewer higher quality people of my own choosing that are for life than through fleeting circumstances as I don't invest in users (temporary people and situations). I think we need to be clear that a friend who has a heart for you will want your well-being even if it means you're less available to them. They would never ask you to sacrifice your oxygen supply (vice versa). They would encourage you to do what is best for you (mutually so). I value depth...

In the pursuit of wellness, self-care stands as an indispensable pillar, regardless of whether one faces disability or not. It's about nurturing oneself, both physically and mentally, in ways that resonate uniquely with each individual. Among the array of self-care practices, the juxtaposition of hot and cold therapy emerges as a potent tool for triggering the body's innate healing response.Picture this: after indulging in the soothing warmth of a hot tub, a relaxing sauna, or a hot shower, immersing oneself in a bracing cold shower might seem counterintuitive. Yet, this practice offers a myriad of benefits that extend beyond the initial shock. The...
