Own Your Choices Own Your Life


Dec 19, 2022

In this episode, I am sharing my experience, lessons learned and experiences with the tough word called “boundaries”.  Especially coming into the Christmas season, this is the time where boundaries are so important, necessary and truly a sign of self-respect.  So here is another episode on boundaries and I know that it will serve you. Personally I have learned so much more about boundaries this year and I know this year as my identity has shifted in my business, my boundaries have had to rise at the same level. 

 

In this episode we discuss:

1) Years ago, I didn’t even know what a boundary was or how to even create one. Every time a counselor mentioned the word it felt impossible and selfish for me to have boundaries in my life.  Little did I know that understanding, learning, and creating boundaries would literally save my life.   I knew I had to share this with my clients and surprisingly very few people understood boundaries.

2) Boundaries start with clarity about where you are feeling some anxiety in your life.  Ask yourself what is missing, where you are feeling anxiety and what you know is missing.  You know the answers.  

3)  Boundaries start with our values, and clarity on our values makes it easier for all the yes’ and no’s you will follow through with in your life and business. Once you have determined your values, take a look in your life to see where you can raise your standards, not your expectations. Raising your standards allows you to plan out your life accordingly to set yourself up for success. If you want a deeper understanding of standards and expectations, listen the Episode #122 Raise Your Standards Not Your Expectations, https://apple.co/32c6zaG

4) Boundaries are a moving line, like a bubble.  Not a hard line in the sand with no negotiating and also recognizing that this changes every single day.  If you find that your self-care practices are low, your stress is high, I guarantee your boundaries will be the next thing affected. Catch this before it happens and unravels.
