How about doing your best to first steer away from allowing others to establish your worth, value and esteem. Then, learn to identify the thoughts, words and actions that others engage in to control you in this fashion as you work to recognize the same within you that tends to embrace them.
Learn the signs of over functioning and just don’t go down that road.
Step back, take the time and expend the effort to know yourself. In so doing, make an honest assessment of your worth and value. Allow some self esteem to reside within. Protect it. Safeguard your value. Know your worth.
It has taken me a very long time just to understand and embrace these three concepts. Yes concepts. I wasn’t even capable of conceptualizing any of it until just about now.
Now the only boundaries I will adhere to are those that keep me on this path until my time is up.
That would make it limitless.
