Episode 18 is all about setting boundaries. Boundaries with business, yourself, your loved ones, and your clients! We all know that when you get started with a client you want to do so much for them and it can be really hard to say no! So i'm going to walk you through all the steps you need to really own what you want and what's right for you because The Soul Rhythm Podcast is all about being authentic and part of being authentic is knowing your truth!
Talking Points and Takeaways:
When we set boundaries we…
- We are less stressed and have more mental bandwidth
- Establish relationships that are emotionally healthy on both sides
- We set an example for others to do the same
How to set healthy boundaries
- REMEMBER: You are doing enough, you don’t need to do more, nor do you need to be the savior. YOU ARE ENOUGH
- Prioritize yourself and maintain awareness of your own priorities, needs and desires
- Be okay with saying NO (A yes, means a no for something else)
- Set the expectations from the start (when we create structure, people are not surprised and know what to expect)
- Be assertive and own your decision (no regrets or guilt)
- Be okay with people being “disappointed” at first. They are not used to you setting those boundaries so at first there may be an element of surprise.
- Assess the relationship
- Rinse & Repeat
Soul Activation/ Homework:
- Take inventory of your current boundaries (go through you day and notice where you wish you would set better boundaries
- Take time to journal on your inventory
- Ask yourself:
- How would I feel if these new boundaries were set?
- If I could have it my way, how would my boundaries look like?
- Guess what? You CAN and should have it your way!! So begin implementing the steps to set boundaries
