5 STEPS TO SETTING HEALTHY BOUNDARIES It's so interesting that when we even say the word "boundary", we can get a tangy taste in our mouths. Why is that? It's acquired the reputation of a dirty word - but it shouldn't be. Setting boundaries is healthy, brave, a necessity and being/acting in authentic service to OURSELVES. Boundaries are not defined and set to accommodate others. Quite the contrary. Boundaries define and reflect our own needs and desires for healthy relationships and help us to edit the constant voice of "YES" (when we really truthfully feel more like "HELL NO"!) Dig deeply. Somewhere in your interpersonal ecosystem there is a situation, a relationship, a circumstance that requires a #BoundaryReset. Today is the day to set a boundary - maybe a few. HOW TO SET BOUNDARIES: 1. Survey/examine the dynamic or situation. 2. Ask yourself "how do I envision the dynamic to change and ultimately be." 3. Set an intention to shift the dynamic with #awareness #kindness and #confidence. 4. Take a deep breath, exhale and make the shift. (It doesn't have to be a grand proclamation, a slight meaningful shift gets the job done too!) 5. Stick to your beliefs and your commitment to servicing YOU. (You may experience some pushback, that's OK too. There was a time I did NOT eat brussel sprouts either, I slowly got used to them and fell in love with the taste.)
