Welcome to episode Eleven, where we look at some of the symptoms you may struggle with if you have poor boundaries. This is an important episode for you if you are tired if feeling worn-out, frustrated and just plain tired of all the drama in your life. Most situations can be drilled down to a boundary issue or two. Sometimes we have to begin with what we don't want in our life to determine the healthy opposite!

Key Elements

· Define some of the most common symptoms of poor boundaries

· Explore how boundary issues are at the core of a lot of our stress

· Create awareness if boundary situations and how to say no gracefully

When you feel yourself becoming angry, resentful or exhausted, pay attention to where you haven't set a healthy boundary. -Crystal Andrus

EP 009 Taking Responsibility for Getting Needs Met

Welcome to our ninth episode, where we finish up our month talking about taking full responsibility for what we need – and for practicing self-care.

In this episode we explore the many areas where we need to take ownership, and ways to begin looking at some of the obstacles to doing so. One of the biggest ones can be ourselves! Convincing yourself first is a big part of it, along with self-discipline as an expression of self-love.

Because, nurturing yourself is a huge part of feeling peaceful, grounded and empowered. Your environments and how they impact getting needs met is crucial to honoring yourself. In this episode I include experiential exercises to help you solidify the work – and take it with you!

Key Elements

· Defining self-care – It's Not just a spa day!

· What taking responsibility for what you need looks like

· Learning how to negotiate needs in a healthy way

You can't hate yourself happy. You can't criticize yourself thin,

You can't shame yourself wealthy.

Real change begins with self-love and self-care.

We have two types of needs: tangible and intangible ones. Learning to identify, validate and express those needs in a healthy way to others is our main focus here. If we cannot do this naturally there are very good reasons for that – ones we explore in episodes six and seven. We talk about the need to apply the self-discipline to identify where we struggle and begin to practice being more emotionally honest. It is foundational to having a healthy relationship with ourselves and others.

Assess how well you can identify and ask for what you need.

Look at ways we will act out our unmet needs if we don't.

Learn to take healthy ownership of what you need in the moment.

The earlier these experiences took place the more ingrained the disowning becomes, and disowning our needs is disowning our authentic self.

Key Elements

· Identify some of the insidious ways emotional needs go unmet

· Explore why needs are a big part of owning the self.

· Look at some of your origin stories around your own needs.
