A micro-boundary is a small, quiet act of self-respect.
In a world where boundaries can feel as daunting as climbing Everest, 'Married to Addiction' offers a gentle guide to taking that first step. Episode 108, 'How to Set One Micro-Boundary This Week', is a lifeline for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the idea of setting limits with a loved one struggling with alcohol addiction.
Hosted by Julie Sanford, this episode unravels the concept of micro-boundaries – those small yet mighty acts of self-respect that can safeguard your peace without turning your life upside down. Julie, with her empathetic approach, reassures that setting boundaries doesn’t mean launching into a full-blown confrontation. Instead, it’s about identifying moments in your day when you feel most drained and finding a small way to protect yourself.
Whether it’s not responding to late-night texts or choosing to sleep in another room, these micro-boundaries are about honouring your own needs. The episode also provides a straightforward three-step plan to help you implement these changes: identify the boundary, seek divine guidance for courage, and gently follow through. It’s about progress, not perfection, and recognising that even small steps can lead to significant change. Julie shares her personal experiences, adding a layer of authenticity and relatability.
Her reflections remind you that even Jesus set boundaries, and if it was good enough for Him, it’s certainly good enough for us! With light humour and heartfelt wisdom, Julie encourages you to take that first step towards protecting your peace. If you're ready to start setting boundaries without the drama, this episode is your guide. After all, you deserve to say, 'I matter'.
