How to Use The Boundary Bible Reflection Journal

So, you bought The Boundary Bible. 

First of all, I’m proud of you! Whether this is your first time trying to set boundaries or you’ve been doing the work for years, this journal is here to help you stop abandoning yourself in the name of peace, obligation, or people-pleasing.

This is more than a journal. It is a toolkit, a guide, a mirror, and a soft place to land when everything in you wants to go back to old habits.

Here’s how to get the most out of it:

Step 1: Start at the Beginning

Do not skip the introduction pages. They explain the difference between boundaries, rules, expectations, and standards. These terms are often confused, and this section is meant to bring clarity. Take your time. Read it more than once if needed. Let it settle.

Step 2: Focus on One Section at a Time

The journal is divided into sections that focus on different relationship types, such as family, friendships, and romantic connections. Choose the one that feels most urgent or uncomfortable. Do not rush through all of them at once. Boundaries are a process, not a race.

Step 3: Be Honest with the Prompts

When you reach the reflection prompts, do not write what you think sounds good. Write what is real. Even if it is uncomfortable or messy. This journal is for you and no one else. Let it be a place where you tell the truth without judgment.

Step 4: Let the Affirmations Strengthen You

At the end of each section, you will find a page of affirmations. These are not just words. They are reminders, declarations, and tools. Speak them out loud. Write them on sticky notes. Refer back to them when you start to doubt yourself.

Step 5: Revisit Often

Setting boundaries is not something you do once. It is an ongoing practice. Return to the journal as your life shifts. Use it to track progress, adjust your thinking, and stay grounded when challenges come up. Healing is not linear, and that is completely normal.

Pro Tips:

  • Try using this journal as part of your morning routine

  • Choose a pen you enjoy writing with

  • Keep your journal private so you feel free to be honest

  • Celebrate small wins along the way

 

You are not unkind for having needs. You are not difficult for wanting peace. You are not wrong for choosing yourself.

This is your boundary era. The Boundary Bible is here to support you every step of the way.
