In truth, the you who set up your current energy boundaries isn’t the same you who will create the next, more successful boundaries on your journey as an evolving empath.

The mindset, habits, and beliefs that brought you this far will need an upgrade to take you where you want to go next.

I remember experiencing this awareness years ago and asking SPIRIT/Source why my energy boundaries never felt strong enough and why maintaining them was so exhausting. In response, I was reminded of the wisdom of the Dalai Lama, who taught that true change comes from within the individual—only then can they make a meaningful contribution to humanity.

That concept hit me right in the heart. Because as I look back, every big growth moment in strengthening my boundaries required me to step into a new level of me. I had to shift and hold myself accountable for my thoughts, feelings, and actions so I could create the external milestones I wanted to reach.

That is why I want to share a simple yet powerful exercise with you. It’s one I’ve used for many years to help my clients (and myself) step into the next level of successful boundaries with intension, clarity, and ease.

Your current energy boundaries vs. new energy boundaries

Here’s the exercise: Imagine yourself in a movie as a beautiful glowing light inside of a delicate glass globe. Your are so peaceful and bright in your space. Soon you notice moths approaching and landing on globe absorbing the light that is being cast off. At first you feel safe in your space and do not mind the moths basking in the light, and then you notice there are too many and the glass globe begins to crack. You feel yourself exhausted trying to keep your radiant glow alive while being overwhelmed by their needs. But this isn’t just your imagination – it’s a projection of how you feel right now, today.

It is how you feel about your energy boundaries from your mind’s eye, your perspective of how other’s see you and what they expect from you . . .it comes down to what’s inside right now.

Take a moment to really observe this version of yourself. How do you currently see yourself as an empath? As a woman? As someone creating joy and purpose in your own life?

Take out a notebook right now, ask yourself these questions, and take as long as you need to write down your answers:

• What part of yourself do you feel like you are giving away right now?
• What stories are you currently telling yourself?
• What doubts do you have about what is possiable for you?

Take a breath and know that this exercise is not about judgement, and it is not about negative self-talk. It’s about awareness and clarity. You can not create new results if you are not aware of where you are starting from right now.

The You that’s creating new energy boundaries.

Now let’s take it one step further. Let’s imagine that the movie shifts, and instead of seeing yourself as you are today, you see the version of you who is already living the next level of safe energy boundaries.

Who is she?

• How does she carry herself when she engages with other people?
• What does she believe about herself, and her ability to create safe energy boundaries?
• How courageous is she? What impact does she bring to the world?
• What do her steps of faith look like?

This is where the magic happens. By visualizing the you that is creating new energy boundaries, you begin to bridge the gap and create new beliefs, and perceptions about who you are today and who you desire to become.

And here is the truth . . . what I discovered, the healthy energy boundaries are already in side of you.

She is waiting to emerge. All you have to do is start embodying her . . . one step at a time, one new boundary at a time, one small courageous action at a time.

Creating New You Starts Inside

This is one of the exercises that I do with my clients in the mindset workshops that we actually need as empaths to upgrade our self-image and in order for you to upgrade your boundaries, your life, and your self worth. Why? Because creating new healthy energy boundaries begins within.

The way you see yourself – the thoughts that play in your head all day – determines how you show up in your life as a woman, the actions that you take, and ultimately in the results your create.

This is why mindset work is the foundation of new energy boundaries and quickly becoming the foundation to our programs. We don’t just focus on energy clearing strategies or tactics, we go deeper. We work on shifting the internal beliefs and perceptions that shape the outcomes of our lives and seemingly effortless energy shields.

Here is what I want you to know: if you are feeling stuck or like your are spinning your wheels in your life right now, there is nothing wrong with you. This is normal for the huge energy transformation that our planet is undergoing right now.

The best way to help yourself is to face the growth head on, and allow the shift to begin within.

Ask yourself: Are you the person who will create the reality that you desire?

If not, that is okay. Begin where you are right now, and take one step in the direction of the future version of yourself.

This exercise is exactly what I am doing in my own life and my spiritual walk right now. It’s what our new energy boundary workshop is about. And I would like for you to join us.

Creating new results isn’t about exhausting yourself, it is about becoming the version of you who can create the safe energy boundaries that are clear, courageous, and seemingly effortless.

You can do this. Let’s go.
