Boundary
It’s hard to set a boundary.
It’s even harder to hold one.
People around us don’t particularly like it, they’d rather we didn’t, especially if it is in a place we have allowed them to step over as they please for years.
The most natural reaction is push back. We will almost certainly get push back in various, uncomfortable forms. Holding the boundary means staying with that discomfort, staying put despite the emotional and energetic push back we feel.
Rather than bending the boundary to make the others happy and pleasant and comfortable again.
When the boundary is clear and coming from the heart space, your heart is asking for you to change something for the sake of your health and well-being. When it has come out of the whispers of your own body, when you have been able to disentangle it from your thoughts, fears and ego…then it’s much easier to plant your feet.
To stay with the discomfort of the people around you being unhappy with the situation. To stand and hold long enough for those people to either turn around and leave, or soften into understanding and respect of what you have asked of them or what you have said is not (no longer) ok with you.
If they soften it’s a blessing. If they turn around and leave it’s a blessing too 
Hearing the need for a boundary and putting it up is yours, the rest is theirs
