The Tough Truth About Boundaries: Getting Clear, Speaking Up, and Reducing Stress
This episode is about a topic that's brutally tough for many of us... boundaries! Saying the word, thinking about it, or getting ready to set a boundary has the power to make us hide under a blanket. But what we think is so scary about boundaries actually keeps us trapped by their lack in our lives. I discuss why boundaries are so crucial to living a life that's less stressful, more playful, toward your ultimate goals, and full of healthy connection. Setting boundaries is a muscle that, when practiced and utilized, gets stronger over time and easier to flex. We are worthy of true care from others and especially from ourselves and we wont get it without boundary setting. So sit back, relax, and be prepared to get real with yourself and the situations of your life. Please like, follow, and share! Enjoy and see you next time.

Steps to Setting Boundaries:
1. Define what your boundaries/limits are. What are your NO's?
2. Communicate those boundaries with people in your life.
3. Say them SIMPLY. No need to over explain.
4. Create and communicate the consequences of someone (including yourself) not holding your boundary.
5. Hold your boundary and make good on the consequences where needed.
