Setting boundaries is self care! Make it part of your self care routine. Removing yourself from places, people, or things that hurt you is practicing Ahimsa-non violence towards yourself. You are not cutting people out. You are not petty. You are creating peace inside you thru healthy boundaries.

The pursuit of non violence is not only towards others, but toward ourselves. Practice giving yourself grace to feel your emotions, to experience the present moment without judgement. In times of despair, observe but do not absorb. We are the divine seers within ourselves.
