February 2024 Calendar and Word: Boundaries

I’m so excited to have a focus word each month to add to the monthly calendar! I’ve chosen words that have had some sort of significance in my life recently and things I want to focus on further. I’ve been sharing quotes relating to the word of the month on my social media so you may want to check it out!

This months word is:

BOUNDARIES

I’m going to share an example of boundaries in my life. Having Lupus which caused Vasculitis, which damaged my kidneys to a stage 4/5 kidney disease has caused health limitations for myself. To stay on top of it, I’ve had to set boundaries for myself. My main focus for 2023 was my health after spending time in the hospital in November of 2022. I set up my limitaions and I have tried to live within them. I let life get in the way towards the end of the year. I subjected myself to unnecessary stress and I changed my lifestyle enough to interfere with boundaries and my comfort zone. I felt it coming on, but before I knew it, I was having a full blown flare up. It included bleeding from my ear, an ear infection, pain and mobility limitations, as well as a bad case of the flu. I’m doing better but I am still very weak after 4 weeks of struggles.

Lack of boundaries invites lack of self respect…

But, it taught me something. Something I thought I Knew my boundaries but I chose to push the limits. This also taught me the importance of boundaries. I’ve always been a people pleaser but that doesn’t always fare well with my personal desires and health. Boundaries are an important part of Self care.

Boundaries are the recognition of personal space.
A boundary is a limit we set to protect our time, our emotional, mental and physical well-being.

What ways do you think we can implement this into our February 2024 calendar? I’m going to look ahead at my calendar and set some priorities. I’m also going to study up on how to set good healthy boundaries. I’ll also share a post with ideas and quotes on how to do this.
