The Law of Sowing and Reaping
Mar 03, 2023
The Law of Sowing and Reaping is one of the fundamental laws of boundaries. It states that there are consequences, both good and bad, for our actions. It is how we learn and grow. When we hold our breath, for example, our body begins to lose oxygen and we begin reaping what we have sown. This law applies to all areas of our lives, including our relationships.
In terms of codependency, the Law of Sowing and Reaping helps us to stay honest with ourselves and our relationships. It keeps us in touch with the reality of our situations and helps us to feel pain, which is necessary for growth. Boundaries help us to develop emotional control and self-regulation, which in turn allow us to feel pain ahead of time and order our behavior accordingly.
When we have difficulty setting limits and boundaries in our relationships, it is often because we fear loss of approval, disconnection, or running into anger. These fears keep us from moving forward and taking control of ourselves. However, with boundaries, we can learn to handle what comes with setting limits and reap the positive consequences of our actions.
The Law of Sowing and Reaping also helps us to thrive, but it is not always easy to accept. It calls us to take another step in getting control of ourselves, which can be difficult. However, it is ultimately empowering and helps us to mature emotionally.
