Good little girls don’t rock the boat.
If you’re anything like me, you want peace inside yourself. You value freedom. And you seek to live from Truth (perpetually evolving though it most definitely is).
Perhaps you’ve tried your whole life to be-all-things-to-all-people. Perhaps you’ve wanted to do things perfectly so that finally, eventually, the outcome you want is achieved.
Meanwhile, no matter how hard your try, no matter how much you give, someone is always disappointed. That someone is usually you …
Here’s the thing – a long long time ago you learned how to be a good little girl whose job is to be all things to all people while trying not to rock the boat.
And since then, with the strategies you developed as a young child, you’ve been trying but you’re noticing that you tried so hard that you have left the boat (and are floating elsewhere).
Given that all meaning is context dependent, there is always intelligence to all that we do. For example, the context of “good girl” reveals the driver is safety. Everything we do is to establish safety.
The problem with “good girl” conditioning (as I am calling it) is that we learned early on that safety comes from compliance. If we listened and were the best little girls in the universe, then maybe, just mayyyybe, we would be safe.
So we took it upon ourselves to be nice, self-sacrifice, and wear well our badge of nobility. After all, if we deplete ourselves for the greater good, then that’s gotta be worth something, right?
Repeat after me: no matter how hard I try, it ain’t working.
Try it, seriously. Out loud. To yourself. It’s a hard one to admit and lay claim to. It takes so much out of us to really grok that our historical strategies do.not.work.
But our fear keeps us captive to same-old, same-old. It doesn’t work, but…what else is there?
Boundaries, that’s what. Boundaries is how you take ownership over the quality of your life. Boundaries is how you explore what’s possible when you question your conditioning. Boundaries and it’s relationship to your becoming are key. Are you curious to explore this further, for yourself?
