I have spoken many times about having boundaries with others, but I think it’s time we spoke about having boundaries with ourselves. 

Show Notes:
This might sound like a weird concept because it sounds like we would be limiting ourselves, which isn’t the message that is being passed around in today’s society. But actually, having limits & sort of a set of rules for yourself can help you feel safe & in an already established mindset of what is best for you & will serve you well, in your current season of life, of course.

I think one of the reasons I like boundaries so much is because I am such a lover of rules. And no, boundaries aren’t exactly rules, but these are a set of decisions you know will work best for you & keep you from falling into giving too much or too little of yourself, which can lead to a negative headspace. 

A rule is more definitive, generally, and set for someone else, where boundaries are created for your benefit. But I love rules & boundaries because both of these set expectations from the jump & that’s comforting. 

So let’s get into some boundaries we can set for ourselves that will help us become our best selves. Because boundaries are meant to help you take care of yourself by managing stress, creating healthy relationships, taking care of yourself physically & really taking the time to recognize what you need in your life to flourish.

Here are 7 examples of boundaries you can set for yourself:

1. Managing your finances properly with a budget & paying bills on time
2. Establishing a bedtime & wake-up time & sticking to it
3. Setting limits on how much you will work each week
4. Avoiding people who hurt you, stress you out, influence the worst in you
5. Not participating in gossip or talking behind someone’s back
6. Taking rest & mental health days
7. Taking time to process your emotions & honor your feelings

I hope going through these examples of boundaries you can set for yourself has been helpful & will lead to creating a list of your own or just using these ones mentioned here.

Thank you again for listening & I hope this episode was helpful.
