Meditation Script:

As you settle into a comfortable position, bring to mind either the last time you said

no to something you genuinely didn’t want to do or the last time you

said yes to something you genuinely did want to do. Consider your

ability to gate keep your own life. Gate keeping your life means maintaining your

ability to function well—to think, make decisions, regulate your emotions, and

manage stress—by limiting your time in spaces where and with people who deplete

your energy without restoring it back, and spending as much time as you can in

spaces where and with people who restore your energy and to whom you feel good

about giving your time, energy, and support.

Maintaining boundaries allows us to maintain the energy we need to do our work, to give

back to others, and to keep a healthy relationship with ourselves and with

others.

Notice any tension or ease that arises at the mention of boundaries. Whatever your

sensations or relationship to maintaining healthy boundaries, allow yourself a deep

breath in, deep breath out. Bring attention to your mental and emotional space, aware

of the thoughts that arrive and emotions that come as you consider the boundaries

you have or wish to create. Say to yourself, “I am worthy of activity that

fills me with joy and peace. I am worthy of social interactions that fill me

with joy and peace. I am worthy of environments that fill me with joy and

peace.” Deep breath in, deep breath out.

Notice your physical, mental, and emotional space. Aware of any tension, busyness of

mind, or heaviness of emotion, breathe. Aware of any ease, calmness of mind,

lightness of emotion, breathe. Say to yourself, “I am worthy of activity that

fills me with joy and peace. I am worthy of social interactions that fill me

with joy and peace. I am worthy of environments that fill me with joy and

peace.” Deep breath in, deep breath out.

Notice tension and ease in the body, busyness or calmness of mind, heaviness or

lightness of emotion. Once more, say to yourself, “I am worthy of activity that fills me

with joy and peace, I am worthy of social interactions that fill me with joy

and peace. I am worthy of environments that fill me with joy and peace.” Deep

breath in, deep breath out.

Rest here, or move into the rest of your day, making one small step toward creating or

maintaining boundaries in one area of your life. Thank you for meditating with

me. Peace.
