Beyond Bitchy: Mastering the Art of Boundaries

#94 - How Far Can You Go? Sometimes, Boundaries Are Not the Answer


Listen Later

This is a scary time. So many of us are dealing with fear about what's happening and what may happen, as well as not knowing what's going to happen or what the future will look like. So let's talk about something uplifting, forward-thinking, and expansive, that will stretch us beyond our limited mindset, beliefs, or fears. How far can you go?

Biggest Takeaways From Episode #94:

  • The future has always been uncertain, but this year has brought that perspective to the front and center.
  • Even though healthy and effective personal and relationship boundaries are vital, sometimes, boundaries are just . . . unnecessary. One example is when we want more of some positive, healthy things that enhance our lives.
  • Stretching outside of our comfort zone requires courage, and stretching feels uncomfortable. Instead of identifying a destination or a goal, ask yourself how far you can go.
  • Where in your life do you want to ask yourself how far you can go? Try to drop down from your thinking mind into your body and see what it feels like to ask yourself this question.
