Clear boundaries between ourselves and what is harmful; the right to reject what degrades or pollutes us; moral clarity.

A question to sit with

What boundary is this disgust protecting? What do I need to distance myself from to maintain my integrity?

What to do right now

Honor this disgust as valuable information. Identify what specifically violates your values. Set one clear boundary to distance yourself from what feels toxic. Your disgust is protecting your integrity.
