Women have been socialized to not have boundaries. We’ve been taught that our worth is based solely on the service we provide to others: partners, children, family, friends, schools, churches, etc. Due to this socialization we believe that any time we set aside for ourselves is “not important” and that other people are more entitled to it than we are and it’s this thought pattern that keeps us from going to the gym, taking a walk, or otherwise doing things we love and want to do.
