Why Home Matters – Who You Let In *(3 of 3)

Creating a home also means protecting it. This final reflection is about boundaries, energy, and honoring what brings peace. When we begin choosing what — and who — we allow in, our home becomes more than shelter. It becomes a sanctuary. And that changes everything.

There’s a quietness, a sense of agency in choosing who enters your space.
And not just your physical space — your energetic one, too.

This is something I’ve learned over time, and often times the hard way.

When we don’t have a strong relationship to our own home — our own inner sense of self — we often let people in who disrupt the peace. We may not notice it right away. But over time, we feel unsettled. Drained. Disconnected.

For me, learning to create a home has also meant learning to protect it.
To notice how I feel in certain rooms, with certain people.
To trust the cues of my own body: the ease, the tension, the softening, the constriction.

Home is not just a space you decorate — it’s a space you safeguard with gentleness.
It’s a reflection of what you value. A mirror for how you want to live.

Home is not just a space you decorate — it’s a space you safeguard with gentleness.
It’s a reflection of what you value. A mirror for how you want to live.

And that means the people who enter that space matter.

Do they respect your time? Your boundaries? Your pace?
Do they support your healing, or do they pull you away from it?

It’s okay to ask yourself these questions. And to act on your answers. Noticing your intuition.

When we begin to choose with intention — in our surroundings, in our relationships, in how we spend our time — we begin to feel the difference between performing peace and actually experiencing it.

I’m not saying this happens overnight.
But I am saying it’s possible — and it begins with paying attention.

Maybe try this: as you move through your day, notice where you feel settled. Notice what — or who — makes you feel distracted, scattered. Choose accordingly.

Your home is a boundary.
Your home is a sanctuary.

Your home is a boundary.
Your home is a sanctuary.
And your home is a choice — made again and again, in small, daily acts of care.

When you start with that inner rooting, the rest begins to align.
Not all at once. But by slowly building that foundation: your Root Chakra. Gift yourself this time.

Your home is a boundary. Your home is a sanctuary.
