Tessa ReneeBoundaries are like muscles, you either strengthen them through practice, or they stay weak and easy to push past. After heartbreak, it’s tempting to soften, to let old patterns slide back in, to excuse behavior because “they’re different this time.” But healing requires flexing those boundaries until they’re strong enough to hold, no matter who tries to test them.
Flexing boundaries means saying no without apology. It means refusing late-night “you up?” texts. It means deleting numbers you swore you’d never block. At first, it feels awkward, even scary, like trying a new lift you don’t quite trust. But the more you do it, the more natural it becomes.
Every time you enforce a boundary, you build strength. Every time you resist the urge to cave, you add another rep. Every time you remind yourself you deserve consistency, clarity, and care, you put another layer of armor around your self-respect. Over time, those boundaries become unshakable, not walls that keep love out, but gates that make sure only the right kind gets in.
The truth is, weak boundaries attract repeat lessons. Unbreakable ones attract peace. And when you’ve trained them enough, you stop fearing heartbreak because you know you’ll never again let someone dismantle your foundation.
Tessa’s Final Thought:
Your boundaries are your barbell. Keep lifting them until no one can put you down again.
