Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, hot messes, it's your girls. See in a cruise.
Here back with another dose of focus vibes. Today we're
diving into something super important. Setting healthy boundaries. Ever feel
like you're constantly giving, giving, giving, with little to show
for it, like a bottomless cup of coffee that everyone
wants to sit from. Well, honey, let me tell you,

(00:20):
saying yes to everything isn't the key to happiness or success.
In fact, it can be the recipe for burnout and resentment.
We're going to talk about how to reclaim your time, energy,
and emotional well being with the power of healthy boundaries. Now,
I know what you might be thinking, barn Durus sound
stuffy and complicated, but trust me, setting boundaries isn't about

(00:44):
being a jerk or shutting people out. It's about creating
clear expectations and protecting your space so you can show
up as your best self. Think of it like this.
You wouldn't let just anyone walk into your home uninvited. Right,
boundaries are like the gatekeepers to your time, time, energy,
and emotional well being. They keep things organized, respectful, and

(01:05):
ultimately more fulfilling. Okay, so here are five key takeaways
that will help you master the odd of setting healthy boundaries. One,
know your worth Before you can set boundaries. You need
to know your worth, What are your values? What's important
to you. Once you have a clear understanding of who
you are and what you stand for, it becomes easier

(01:27):
to say no to things that don't align with those values.
You deserve to be treated with respect, and setting boundaries
is a way of communicating that to yourself and others.
TIH Start small. Don't try to overhaul your entire life overnight.
Start with small, manageable boundaries. Maybe it's saying no to
an extra commitment at work or limiting your time on

(01:49):
social media. Each know you say builds your confidence and
strengthens your resolve. Think of it like building a muscle.
The more you use it, the stronger it gets. T
Be assertive not aggressive. Setting boundaries isn't about being confrontational.
It's about communicating clearly and respectfully. Use I statements to
express your needs and feelings. For example, instead of saying

(02:13):
you always interrupt me, Try I feel unheard when I'm interrupted?
Would you mind waiting until I finish my thought. Assertiveness
is about finding that sweet spot between being polite and
protecting your needs. Fall practice saying no. This one can
be tough, but it's crucial. Remember saying no doesn't make
you a bad person, It makes you human. You don't

(02:36):
have to justify yourself or apologize for taking care of
your own well being. It's okay to decline invitations, requests,
or even conversations that train you five be consistent. Consistency
is key when it comes to setting boundaries. If you
give in every time someone pushes back, your boundaries will
become meaningless. Stand firm and reiterate your needs calmly and confidently. Remember,

(03:02):
the more consistent you are, the easier it becomes for
others to respect your limits. Okay, picture this. You're at
a party surrounded by people, but you're feeling overwhelmed. The
noise is loud, conversations are overlapping, and you just want
a quiet corner to recharge. Suddenly, someone starts telling you
a story about their cat again, and you're mentally zoning out.

(03:25):
Instead of politely nodding along like you usually do. You
take a deep breath and say, that's interesting, but I'm
going to step outside for some fresh air. Dl You
just set a boundary. You prioritize your need for quiet
space without being rude or dismissive. See it can be
as simple as that. Remember hot messes. Setting healthy boundaries

(03:47):
is an act of self love and respect. It's about
creating a life where you feel empowered, energized, and fulfilled.
