Ep #5: Boundaries
Setting boundaries isn’t a new concept but it is an often misunderstood one. Boundaries are necessary for our health as human beings, to set the limits for our own behavior in order to take care of ourselves, so I believe that it’s important to understand exactly what they are… and what they’re not.
You might default to setting boundaries that try to control other people’s behavior but I want to share with you today that boundaries should always be in the first-person, come with a consequence, are not just about saying no, are stated without guilt and shame, and are good for our health.
Setting boundaries can feel really challenging if it’s new to you, so I want to remind you to be patient and compassionate with yourself. This is a new skill and it takes a lot of practice. Join me today to learn how to set boundaries from a place of taking care of your health and why it’s an absolutely vital part of living your best life.
