We teach people how to treat us

As we grow as individuals and get to know ourselves more, we become more aware of our values and what’s important to us in life.That includes how we want to be treated.But what does this really mean?It mostly comes down to our personal boundaries, which stem from our sense of self-worth.

Change your inner world to change your outer world

But the truth is that our external world is really only a mirror for our inner world and how we’re treating ourselves. Here’s a few examples: Clutter in your external environment = clutter in your brain space Feeling unloved = not loving yourself enough Feeling disrespected/used/taken for granted = not setting good personal boundaries = lack…
