10 MINUTES TO LESS SUFFERING

How to Set Boundaries Without Guilt/Stop People-Pleasing and Prevent Burnout


Listen Later

Feeling drained from saying "yes" when you really want to say "no"? You're not alone. In this episode on setting healthy boundaries, I explore the guilt, fear, and discomfort that come with honoring your true needs—and how mastering this skill can completely transform your life and relationships.

You'll learn:

● Practical ways to stop people-pleasing and prevent burnout

● How to protect your energy and reduce daily stress

● Techniques for building respect-based relationships instead of resentment-driven ones

● Why discomfort is actually a sign you're choosing yourself

Perfect for anyone struggling with work-life balance, relationship stress, or feeling overwhelmed by others' demands.

Boundaries and Peace Affirmation

When I say yes to everything, I drift away from myself. When I pause, when I breathe, I come home again. Discomfort is not punishment. It is the feeling of choosing myself. It is the space between suffering and peace. My boundaries are love. My rest is power. My honesty is freedom. When I honor my boundaries, I return to the center of who I am. From that place, what I give is true, authentic and rare. Each time I choose myself, I return with more love to give, more calm to share, and the world feels a little more whole.
