Beyond Bitchy: Mastering the Art of Boundaries

#84 - Boundaries Quick Tips Episode #13: When Being Kind to You Means Saying "I Can't"


Listen Later

I'll be taking the next few weeks off from the podcast to get moved into my new home — so excited! This is a perfect example of what it looks like to be kind to yourself, which is what this Quick Tips episode is all about. Learn why self-kindness is so important, how you can figure out the best way to be kind to yourself, and what all of this has to do with boundaries.

Biggest Takeaways From Episode #84:

  • Most people struggle with being kind to themselves, partly because of a fear of missing out, and partly because being busy is seen as a status symbol. There’s so much going on all the time that we tend to push ourselves way too hard. 
  • Examples of times when we should be kind to ourselves include when we’re not feeling well (mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually), when we’ve pushed ourselves too hard, or when we’re stressed out.
  • How can you be kind to yourself around the particular situation that has you feeling unwell, pressured, or stressed out?
  • Once you’ve figured out the answer to the question of how to be kind to yourself, take action on it! Make that kindness a reality.
