    • Communicating Effectively and Setting Boundaries for Good Mental HealthFocus on 'I' and express thoughts and feelings clearly to maintain respectful relationships and set boundaries

      Effective communication and setting boundaries are crucial for maintaining good mental health. When dealing with situations where someone's actions or words have upset or irritated us, it's essential to communicate our feelings without creating conflict. Instead of focusing on "you," and accusing others, we should focus on "I" and express our thoughts and feelings clearly. For instance, when dealing with a mother-in-law who offers unwanted advice on raising children, instead of saying "you keep telling me how to raise my kid," try saying "I am really clear on how I want my child to be raised, and I appreciate your input, but I need to make these decisions myself." This approach helps maintain a respectful and peaceful relationship while setting a clear boundary. The same principle applies to other areas of life, such as household chores or work-related issues. By focusing on "I" and expressing our thoughts and feelings clearly, we can communicate effectively and maintain healthy relationships.

    • Express feelings with 'I' statementsUsing 'I' statements helps communicate emotions and needs clearly, draws healthy boundaries, and maintains positive communication.

      When it comes to expressing our feelings and setting boundaries, focusing on "I" statements instead of "you" statements can make a significant difference. When we blame others for our emotions or the situation, we give them control and escalate aggression. However, by using phrases like "I need," "I feel," "I am," we communicate our emotions and needs clearly while drawing a healthy boundary. This approach helps maintain a positive and respectful communication, which is essential for our well-being. Remember, you cannot control others' actions, but you can control how you react and express yourself. So, practice using "I" statements and take charge of your emotions and boundaries. Have a great day, and remember, you have 100% got this!

    Dr. Becky Kennedy: Protocols for Excellent Parenting & Improving Relationships of All Kinds
    In this episode, my guest is Dr. Becky Kennedy, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, bestselling author, and founder of Good Inside, an education platform for parents and parents-to-be. We discuss actionable protocols for raising resilient, emotionally healthy kids and effective alternatives to typical forms of reward and punishment that instead teach children valuable skills and strengthen the parent-child bond. These protocols also apply to other types of relationships: professional, romantic, friendships, siblings, etc.  We explain how to respond to emotional outbursts, rudeness, and entitlement, repair fractured relationships, build self-confidence, and improve interpersonal connections with empathy while maintaining healthy boundaries.  We also discuss how to effectively communicate with children and adults with ADHD, anxiety, learning challenges, or with “deeply feeling” individuals.  The conversation is broadly applicable to all types of social interactions and bonds. By the end of the episode, you will have learned simple yet powerful tools to build healthy relationships with kids, teens, adults, and oneself.
