Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Ice, welcome back to high value mail mindset
for men. I'm your host, Colt Harrison, and to day
we're diving into something super important, setting healthy boundaries in relationships. Now,
I know what you're thinking, boundaries. That sounds kind of
stuffy and well, not exactly action packed, but trust me,
(00:23):
this is the stuff that separates a fulfilling life from
one filled with frustration and resentment. It's like having invisible
shields protecting your energy, your time, and your damn sanity.
Think about it. Ever felt drained after spending time with
someone who just doesn't respect your needs? You know that
(00:43):
feeling when you constantly find yourself saying yes even when
you want to scream no. Yeah, those are red flags
screaming for some serious boundary setting. Setting healthy boundaries isn't
about being selfish or shutting people out. It's about communicating
your values and needs clearly so you can attract the
(01:05):
right people into your life and build genuine connections. So
what exactly are these magical boundaries we're talking about. Let's
break it down one, identify your non negotiables. What are
the core values that matter most to you? Respect, honesty, trust,
(01:26):
personal space? Figure out what you absolutely won't compromise on these.
Become your foundation for setting healthy limits. Two. Learn to
say no gracefully. This is a superpower, my friends. It's
not about being rude, it's about protecting your time and energy.
Practice saying no with kindness but firmness. You could say
(01:50):
something like, I appreciate you asking, but I'm committed to
other plan right now. Remember, a well placed no is
better than a lifetime of regret. Three. Communicate clearly and directly.
Don't beat around the bush. Tell people what you need
and expect in a respectful, yet clear manner. If someone
(02:12):
consistently disrespects your boundaries, address it head on. Four. Protect
your time and energy. You are not obligated to say
yes to everything. Schedule time for yourself, prioritize self care,
and don't be afraid to decline invitations that drain you.
Remember you deserve to invest your energy in things that
(02:35):
bring you joy and fulfillment. Five. Be consistent. Boundaries aren't
a one time conversation. They require consistent effort and reinforcement.
If someone pushes back or tries to cross a line,
don't hesitate to reiterate your expectations. Okay, let me paint
(02:55):
a picture for you. Imagine Sarah, a super driven entorerepreneur
who constantly gets sucked in the last minute requests from
friends and colleagues. She's always on call. Feeling overwhelmed and resentful.
Sound familiar. Well, she decides to implement some boundaries, setting
specific work hours, learning to say no to unnecessary commitments,
(03:19):
and prioritizing her own well being. Guess what happens. Sarah
reclaims her time, reduces stress, and feels more confident and
in control. She attracts more supportive relationships because people respect
her limits. This isn't magic, folks, It's the power of boundaries.
(03:40):
So there you have it. Five key takeaways to help
you set healthy boundaries in your relationships. Remember it's not
about being difficult. It's about honoring yourself and creating space
for genuine connections. By saying no to some things, you
create room to say yes to the things that truly matter.
(04:03):
Take action. Start by identifying one boundary you want to
set today. Maybe it's learning to decline social invitations that
don't align with your priorities, or communicating more clearly about
your needs in a relationship. Remember you're in charge of
your own life. Don't let anyone drain your energy or
(04:24):
disrespect your values. Be bold, be authentic, and set those
boundaries like the high value man you are, and as always,
keep crushing it out there. Subscribe to the podcast for
daily doses of motivation and wisdom. Share this episode with
a friend who needs a little boundary boost and leave
(04:45):

stay true to yourself, and remember your value is immeasurable.
