Setting boundaries is not just a critical component of self care -  they’re also the cornerstone of any healthy relationship, including those you have with even your closest of friends.

Often, boundaries are built in friendship at its foundation, but sometimes, new boundaries are required as the relationship progresses over time. Like any other skill, communication is a muscle that needs to be exercised and will get easier over time as you practice it over and over again. 

One of the biggest obstacles to setting boundaries can be instinct to please people, prompting a concern that setting boundaries may offend someone.

How do you want your friends, family to physically and emotionally interact with you? 

What about co-workers?

When we communicate a boundary to another person, we are saying what is ok with me and what is now ok with me. However, each of us has different things which are ok and not ok for us. Being open and honest about one’s feelings helps to prevent building resentment, allow us to work through conflict, and have our needs met.

Tune into today’s episode as Ashley invited two of her friends Crystal and Tori as guests and together they discuss about setting boundaries and effective communication.

Gratitude becomes a cliche and for many there’s a little heart in the practice of gratitude and mindfulness.

Why not allow this to be a moment in time of setting an intention for bringing heart to the practice of being thankful?

We can’t deny that we’re living in difficult times. Consider this, as long as you are living there is more right with you than wrong with you. We just need to be mindful enough to recall the moment is always ripe for you to count your blessings.
