What does it mean to be your own trespasser? You might wonder, how is that even possible? It is all about our boundaries, respecting them and those of others.
Trespassing means to enter any place or property without the permission of the owner (s), we all understand this concept.
Have you ever done something or said something to someone that crossed not only their emotional, mental, or physical boundaries, but actually crossed your boundaries?
For example, maybe you said something that you didn’t thoroughly think through before saying it, or you said something from a place in you that was angry and unknowingly attracted to drama?
Have you ever said too much that didn’t need to be said, whether about yourself or a situation?
How much do you tolerate? Do you allow others to control or manipulate you?
This is something we all do, knowingly or unknowingly, because of our trauma or shame, which funnily compounds and we feel more shameful if we do not process it.
When we do the above and act in ways misaligned with our greatest truth we forget to honor our emotional boundaries, and we trespass, so to say, by not respecting our own privacy.
It comes down to knowing our own boundaries and what we feel comfortable sharing with others, thinking things through before we speak or act, and how we allow others to treat us.
It comes down to us taking that responsibility for our side of the street and that means we choose what we say, do, or think before we engage with others.
So, ask yourself: Where am I not respecting my own privacy, mentally, emotionally, or physically? Have I crossed my own boundaries?
