Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, welcome back to Built to Win. Leo Weston.
Here your daily dose of CEO mindset fuel, and today's
topic is something we all need a little help with.
Setting boundaries. Ever, feel like you're constantly on call, like
your inbox is a bottomless pit, and everyone and their
(00:24):
grandma has an expectation on your time. Yeah, me too,
But guess what you deserve peace of mind. You deserve
to recharge, and you deserve to say no sometimes without
feeling guilty. To day, we're tackling how to set boundaries
that actually support your mental health, because a happy, healthy
(00:45):
you is the foundation for a truly winning life. So
let's dive in with five key takeaways that will rock
your world. Number one, Identify your non negotiables. What are
those absolute must haves in your life? Your sleep schedule,
your family time, your creative outlet. These are sacred. When
(01:10):
you know what truly matters, it becomes way easier to
say no to things that pull you away from them.
Think of it like this. Imagine your day is a pie. Now,
don't fill it up with just anyone's leftovers. You've gotta
prioritize the slices that bring you joy. And fulfillment. Number two.
(01:31):
Communicate clearly and assertively. This doesn't mean being aggressive or rude.
It's about expressing your needs respectfully but firmly. Practice saying
no without apologizing. It takes practice, I get it, but
trust me, it gets easier. You know that feeling when
(01:51):
someone just keeps asking for favors even after you've said no. Uugh,
so annoying. So don't let that happen to yourself. Be clear,
be concise, and stand your ground. You're worth it. Number
three set time limits. Ever get sucked into a project
or conversation that just keeps going, that's a boundary violation
(02:15):
waiting to happen. Decide beforehand how much time you'll dedicate
to specific tasks or interactions, and stick to it. Use
a timer if you need to, but remember your time
is precious. Treat it like gold. Number four. Learn to delegate.
You don't have to do everything yourself. Delicate tasks whenever possible.
(02:41):
It's not about being lazy. It's about maximizing your energy
and focus on what truly matters. Think of it this way,
you wouldn't try to build a house all by yourself.
Would you get a team together? Number five practice self care.
This isn't just bubble baths and face masks, although those
(03:02):
are awesome too. Self care is about prioritizing your well being,
getting enough sleep, eating healthy, exercising, spending time in nature,
doing things that bring you joy. When you take care
of yourself, you have more energy and resilience to set
boundaries and handle whatever life throws your way. All right,
(03:24):
let's get real for a second. Imagine you're at work
and your boss keeps dropping tasks on you right before deadline.
You're already swapped, but they say, oh, come on, it's
just a small thing. You know, it's not really small,
and saying yes will mean sacrificing your lunch break, your
afternoon workout, maybe even dinner with friends. This is where
(03:48):
those boundaries kick in. Remember what we talked about identifying
your non negotiables, Well, maybe your well being during work
hours is one of them. You can lightly but firmly
say to your boss, I'm really focused on completing these
existing projects by deadline. Can I prioritize this new task
(04:10):
tomorrow morning. You're not being rude, You're simply managing your
time and energy effectively, and that's a win win for everyone.
So let's recap. Setting boundaries isn't selfish, it's essential. It's
about protecting your well being, maximizing your time, and showing
(04:30):
up as your best self in all areas of life.
Remember those five key takeaways dB identify your non negotiables,
communicate clearly and assertively, set time limits, learn to delegate,
and practice self care. Now, go out there and build
those boundaries. You've got this and hey, if you found
(04:53):
this helpful, share it with a friend who needs to
hear this message too. Let's empower each other to li
of happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives. Until next time, keep winning.
