Episode Notes:
Boundaries allow us to have more compassion.
Boundaries are not about the other person. They are about self-care and empowering yourself.
How do we set boundaries for ourselves?
- Notice within your life the trigger points that brings complaining.
- Remove yourself from situations that don’t align with your beliefs.
- Don’t share private information with people who haven’t earned your trust.
- Choose to mute or unfollow people that don’t make you feel good about yourself.
When communicating your boundaries:
- State your needs. Use “I” statements, such as “I need”. Avoid “you” statements and words like never, always, all the time.
- Be open to listening and engaging with the person you are communicating with.
Top four tips for setting healthy boundaries:
- Be clear about what the boundary is.
- Keep it simple enough for someone to remember it.
- Do not apologize when setting the boundary. It sends mixed messages.
- Be consistent when reinforcing your boundaries.
