Hey everyone
In this episode, I discussed how to set boundaries and why they are essential. Here's a recap, if you forgot to write it down:
7 types of boundaries:
- Mental (freedom to your own thoughts, values and opinions)
- Emotional (how emotionally are you available to others)
- Material (monetary decisions, giving or lending to others)
- Internal (self-regulation, energy expended on self vs others)
- Conversational (topics that you do not feel discussing)
- Physical (privacy, personal space, your body)
- Time (how much time do you spend with someone or something)
Reflect on the following questions:
- What is causing me stress or discomfort right now?
- What do I look forward to each day?
- What or who gives me energy?
- What or who drains me?
- What or who makes me feel safe, supported and valued?
- What or who makes feel unsafe, unsupported and devalued?
Draw a large circle:
- Inside the circle write everything that makes you feel safe and stress-free
- Outside the circle write everything that makes you feel stressed, uncomfortable or unsafe
Settings boundaries:
- Identify boundaries
- Identify personal values
- Reinforce those boundaries with others
