This is easier said than done, but this crucial ability can be developed... Read on to learn more ✨

Like with anything else, certain personalities are naturally good at using this ability, while others find it more difficult.

Think of the boat example in the picture; its hull keeps the water outside and prevents the ship from sinking ⛵️ A strong hull can take a lot of punishment, but a weak hull will break easily, causing the water to stream into the boat.

We have something similar that can be compared to the ship's hull. Just as each cell in your body has a cell membrane that regulates what enters and leaves the cell, we also have a means of regulating what enters and leaves our psychological and emotional space.

This psychological skill enables us to create a "barrier" that keeps out unwanted emotions, experiences and other input. To make it easier to visualize, think of it as a bubble that's around you. If your mind cannot create a strong barrier, it won't take much for the "bubble" to break, and as a result, the external issues will flow into your mind and affect your thoughts and emotions 🌊

To give you an example of what it feels like to create a barrier, think of a time when you chose to ignore someone. They were talking to you, but you mentally created a barrier that prevented their words from truly entering your mind and affecting you. Although this example gives you an idea of what a barrier feels like, the skill I am referring to feels different but is based on a similar concept.

In the Inner Warrior Personality Framework ©, certain personalities do this with ease and use it as an emotional defence mechanism, blocking out their surroundings and preventing them from influencing their thoughts and emotions. Although this can be a gift in many situations, it can harm their relationships if they don't learn how to control it.

The goal is not to ignore your circumstances but to train your mind to develop a strong barrier that can endure adversity and keep the turbulent waters of your circumstances at bay. This will enable you to maintain a clear mind and grounded perspective that prevents negativity from infiltrating your mind and causing a negative emotional spiral 🙏🏻

Our passion is to help people to achieve their full potential. We offer various teachings, seminars and services to help our clients become the best possible versions of themselves!

𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 ✋🏼❌

If someone gets upset because you set boundaries, it's just more evidence that the boundary is needed. It's our own responsibility to protect our priorities, values, time, energy, and health. A healthy relationship dynamic consists of mutual respect for each other's boundaries, needs, and wants.

Among other things, setting healthy boundaries allows you to:

• Maintain high self-esteem and self-respect.

• Protect your physical and emotional space from intrusion.

• Protect your time and energy from being hijacked by others.

• Honour your own needs and wants by being able to truthfully say yes or no.

Setting boundaries isn’t always comfortable and people may push back if you do so. They may try to test your limits, to see just how serious you are about drawing the line. Or they may be so used to you responding in a certain way (for example agreeing on everything), that they may push back when you try to make some changes. This may especially be the case if the person benefits from the lack of boundaries.

When setting stricter boundaries, understand that you need to be clear and consistent with your boundaries until people adjust to them. There may be some pushback in the beginning. If you decide to set a boundary, stick to it! Inconsistency will cause complications, such as people losing respect for you and your boundaries.

Examples of setting boundaries:

"I would love to help you with your project, but I am already overcommitted.”

“I won't be able to do that, but what I can do is…”

“Thank you for the invitation, but I need some time for myself tonight.”

“I check my e-mails between 09:00 – 17:00, I will respond to you then.”

“This is not something I would like to discuss, can we please talk about something else?”

"I really need my perspective validated before I can continue."

“I am not comfortable with that, if you do it again I will have to leave.”

𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: If you are dealing with someone who is physically dangerous or threatening to you, it may not be safe to attempt to set explicit boundaries with them. If you are in this situation, I recommend seeking the advice of a counsellor, therapist, or another professional to assess the situation and assist you with addressing the situation.

𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🧠💭

Projection is a defence mechanism that people subconsciously use to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Instead of dealing with these issues within themselves, they deny its existence and seek to project it onto other people.

This is a broad topic, but here is an example of projection in action:

Jennifer is struggling to keep her life together, she is behind on her work schedule and she doesn't have a good administrative system, so a lot of her important tasks simply don't get done. Her boss and co-workers have been putting a lot of pressure on her to catch up, but she is subconsciously worrying that she won't be able to. Because of this, she feels irresponsible and unreliable but she keeps this to herself and does not accept it as a reality.

Around the same time, she enters into a relationship with James, who is generally much more organized and responsible than she is. After working hard all week, James decides to meet up with some of his friends. After telling Jennifer this, she recalls that James recently told her that he has a lot of work to do. She then argues that spending time with his friends is irresponsible and unreliable and that he should focus on the things that matter, she uses the memory of James saying that he has a lot of work to do to support her argument.

Initially, James argued back and resisted the accusations, stating "how does taking time off to rest make me irresponsible and unreliable? The work I spoke of was work I have to do at the office, not over the weekend..." But it was to no avail, the argument would go around in circles until James eventually compromises by telling his friends that he can't spend time with them. This whole situation was not about James at all, it was Jennifer projecting her own feelings of irresponsibility onto James and using him as a scapegoat for the feelings that she's denying within herself.

After this happened, Jennifer still has not addressed or admitted her own irresponsibility, so she keeps looking for signs of irresponsibility in James. Anything as simple as leaving a cup on the table after finishing his coffee, or going slightly over the speed limit, is used as ammunition for her projection. As time carries on, Jennifer eventually decides to break up with him because she can't deal with how irresponsible he is.

This is a basic example of psychological projection in action. Keep in mind that this example only covers one aspect of psychological projection and it has many more sides to it.

Another side of psychological projection is when we project our own biases, opinions, and beliefs onto others. A common example is when someone has an issue with a particular person, and they then try to get others to agree with them and convince them that they have those issues as well. This works better with certain people than others, and they will generally avoid and grow distant with the people who don't accept their projections.

Open, honest communication is the best way to cut through the veil of projection. This is one of the reasons why you need honest people in your inner circle that you can trust. They should reflect the honest truth back to you, and you can use that to cut through the manipulation and projection. Sometimes they will confirm these accusations, and then it's up to you to address these issues.

"A true friend isn't the one who only tells you what you want to hear, but it is the one who speaks the truth and tells you what you need to know." - Brenda Lee Sanders

See your internal world as your internal kingdom 🏞 and your mind as the ruler 👑 The state of the ruler determines the state of the kingdom.

There are times when we have to protect our internal kingdom from invaders that want to destroy it. These “invaders” are our inner demons, which include things like self-doubt, insecurities, fears, unworthiness, and other internal issues. Every now and then, these inner demons will take up arms and storm the fortress of your mind in an attempt to conquer it. When this happens, you must awaken your inner warrior and rise to defend your internal kingdom ⚔️

When you decide to confront your inner demons on the battlefield of the mind, it’s important that you do so with a brave heart and that you have a strong, positive, and resolute spirit. Otherwise, you will not be able to defeat them.

Even if an army of thousands of inner demons rise up and storm the fortress of your mind, they will not be able to stand before you if the light of your being shines brightly. They will lose their power, and their grip over you will be weakened. However, if you gaze upon them with a faint heart and a weak spirit, your inner demons will gain strength and increase in power. They will defeat you, and invade the fortress of your mind. Once there, they will dethrone you and take over control of your internal kingdom. With them in control as the rulers, they will corrupt your kingdom and create hell within you 🌋

Because of this, we must develop internal strength and arm our minds with the power to defend our internal kingdom. If you have already lost the battle and they have dethroned you, then it’s time to start a revolution! Gather your strength, find your courage, and arm yourself to reclaim control of your kingdom! It’s time to storm the fortress and dethrone your inner demons and turn your internal kingdom back into a peaceful paradise ✨
