Boundaries are the limits we set with other people. Knowing and honoring our boundaries are signs of healthy self-worth and loving yourself. In this episode learn how to identify the areas where boundaries have been crossed and find practical ways to establish them to bring health and happiness back into your life.

Transformation Tip: “Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.” - Brené Brown

Questions to ask to determine if you need help setting boundaries:

  • Do you pride yourself on always going the extra mile?
  • Do you overextend yourself?
  • Are you exhausted more days than not?
  • Do you resent others for being too needy?
  • Do you have a hard time saying no?

Boundaries are the limits we set with other people. Knowing and honoring our boundaries is a sign of healthy self-worth and loving yourself.

5 kinds of self-worth:

  • Intellectual worth
  • Emotional worth
  • Physical worth
  • Social worth
  • Spiritual worth

How to set healthy boundaries:

  • Recognize if a boundary has been tested
    • Examine a past experience that made you feel uncomfortable, angry, resentful, or frustrated?
  • Don't take on more than you can handle
    • How many things are you juggling?
  • Be clear and assertive
    • Did you communicate your boundary or did you just assume that people knew what it was?
  • This will take practice
  • If people can’t respect your boundaries, learn to walk away

Transformation Application: Get a piece of paper and journal a past experience where you felt uncomfortable, angry, or resentful. Then begin to outline the boundary you feel they crossed.
