Well, hello there and welcome to this episode of the Terry Cole show. As always, I am so happy that you are here. I continue to be crafting my next book on high-functioning co-ependency in my writing cave,

and this special six-part series,

based on your insightful survey responses, goes on.

So we've already delved into boundaries with friends,

boundaries with money, and boundaries at work. Today we're turning inward to explore a

fundamental aspect of our personal growth, internal boundaries. So internal

boundaries are all about regulating your relationship with

yourself. So think of them as pillars of self-discipline, encompassing the healthy

management of your time, your thoughts, your emotions, your behaviors, and your impulses.

When these internal boundaries are disordered,

it might manifest as procrastination,

failing to follow through on your commitments to yourself or others, engaging in excessive negative

self-talk or neglecting your physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental well-being.

In today's episode, we'll dive into the importance of managing negative thoughts and feelings

and the empowering effect of following through on your goals and commitments.

One critical concept will explore is self-abandiment,

a common symptom of weak internal boundaries. This happens when you consistently fail to

honor promises made to yourself leading to a cycle of unfulfilled goals and aspirations, which is a bummer. But there's hope. When you have healthy internal boundaries you find

that you can rely on yourself consistently. You trust yourself enough to take care of you,

which results in inner peace and a sense of self-trust.

Strengthening your internal boundaries isn't just about breaking old habits.

It's about making conscious choices towards new, more self-affirming behaviors.
