Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to Anxiety
Meet Discipline to day, we're diving into something super important,
creating healthy boundaries for your mental well being. Ever feel
like a human sieve, things just seep in, draining your energy,
messing with your peace of mind. I get it, I've

(00:21):
been there. But guess what, You don't have to be
that open door policy kind of person all the time.
We can learn to say no without feeling guilty, set
limits that actually work, and reclaim our mental space. Now,
boundaries art about being selfish or uncaring. They're about respecting

(00:45):
yourself and your needs just as much as you respect others.
Think of it like this. Imagine a beautiful garden. You
want to let in the sunshine and fresh air, but
you also need a fence to protect those precious plants
from pests and overgrowth. Boundaries are that fence. They keep

(01:06):
things balanced and allow you to flourish. So what's the
secret sauce to crafting these mental well being boundaries? Let
me break it down into five key takeaways. Number one,
identify your needs. This is like figuring out your inner compass.
What drains you, what makes you feel overwhelmed or resentful.

(01:28):
Is it constant phone calls, taking on too many commitments,
people always needing a shoulder to cry on, even though
you're crying inside. Figure out those things and start recognizing
them as red flags. You know that feeling when someone
asks for something and your gut says no, but you
say yes anyway. Yeah, listen to that inner voice. It's

(01:52):
trying to protect you. Number two, practice clear communication. This
doesn't mean becoming a robot. It's about being honest and
direct without being aggressive. Instead of saying I'm too busy,
try something like I really want to help, but I
have some other commitments right now. Can we maybe connect

(02:16):
next week? You get the point across while still showing kindness.
Number three, it's okay to say no. This is a
big one. Saying no doesn't make you a bad person.
It makes you someone who respects their own time and energy. Remember,
saying yes to everything ultimately means saying no to yourself.

(02:39):
Number four, Set realistic expectations. Don't try to change everything overnight.
Start small with those boundaries. Maybe it's setting aside one
hour each day for yourself, turning off your phone during dinner,
or learning to politely decline invitations that don't align with
your priorities. Remember progress over perfection number five. Remember self

(03:06):
care is non negotiable. This isn't a luxury, folks. It's
essential make time for activities that nourish your mind, body
and soul. Whether it's reading, going for a walk, meditating,
or simply taking a long bath. These moments of intentional
self care will help you recharge and build resilience against

(03:29):
the anxieties of everyday life. Think about that last time
someone asked you to do something that made your stomach clench.
Maybe it was picking up groceries after work when you
were already exhausted, or agreeing to attend an event you
knew would drain your energy. Now imagine saying no, not

(03:49):
with guilt or hesitation, but with a clear and confident voice.
You politely explain your situation, offer alternative solutions if possible,
and to your boundaries. How does that feel powerful? Right?
That's the magic of healthy boundaries. They give you back
control over your time, energy, and emotional wellbeing. So remember,

(04:14):
setting boundaries isn't about being selfish or uncaring. It's about
honoring your needs and creating a life that truly feels
good for you. It's about making space for what matters most,
your peace of mind, your happiness, and your overall well being.
