Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here your friendly neighborhood guide to
navigating this crazy thing called life. Today, we're diving into
something super important, something that can seriously make or break
your relationships. Setting healthy boundaries ever, feel like you're constantly giving, giving, giving,
without getting much back. You know that feeling when you

(00:20):
say yes to everything even when it drains you. Yeah,
that's a boundary issue waiting to happen. Listen, I get it.
We're all raised with this idea of being selfless, putting
others first. Right, But here's the thing. Taking care of
yourself isn't selfish. It's essential. Think of boundaries like those
comfy fences around your garden. They protect what's yours and

(00:41):
let you grow in a healthy way. Without them, things
can get messy, overgrown, and frankly exhausting. So here are
five key takeaways to remember about setting those crucial boundaries.
First up, know yourself. What are your values, what makes
you feel comfortable and respected? What are your deal breakers.
Once you have a solid understanding of what matters to you,

(01:03):
it's much easier to communicate your needs. It's like knowing
what kind of seeds you want to plant in your garden.
You can't grow roses if you keep trying to force sunflowers. Next,
practice clear and assertive communication. Don't be afraid to say
no when something doesn't feel right. You don't have to
over explain yourself or apologize for setting limits. A simple

(01:25):
thanks for the offer, but I can't commit to that
right now can work wonders. Remember being assertive is not
about being aggressive, It's about respectfully expressing your needs and expectations. Thirdly,
remember that boundaries aren't set in stone. They can evolve
as you grow and change. Life throws curveballs, and sometimes
your boundaries need to adjust too. Be flexible, be open

(01:49):
to revisiting them, and don't be afraid to make changes
if something isn't working now. Consistency is key. Setting boundaries
once won't magically solve all your relationship was. It's about
consistently upholding those limits you've set. This shows others that
you're serious about your needs and that you respect yourself.
Think of it like training a dog. They learned best

(02:10):
with consistent rewards and clear instructions. And lastly, remember to
be kind to yourself. Setting boundaries can be tough, especially
if you're used to putting others first, don't beat yourself
up if you slip up. Sometimes, just acknowledge it, learn
from it, and keep moving forward. You've got this. Let
me tell you about a friend of mine, Sarah. She

(02:31):
used to constantly agree to help people with their projects,
even when she was already swamped. She felt obligated to
say yes, even if it meant sacrificing her own time
and well being. One day, she realized that she was
burned out and resentful. She decided to start setting boundaries
by politely declining requests that didn't align with her priorities.

(02:52):
It was a tough transition at first, but she found
that people respected her more when she knew what she
wanted and wasn't afraid to say no. So remember the
key takeaways here are know yourself, communicate clearly, be consistent,
eveol of your boundaries as needed, and be kind to
yourself throughout the process. Setting healthy boundaries isn't just about

(03:13):
protecting yourself. It's also about fostering stronger, more authentic relationships.
When you set clear limits, you create space for mutual respect, understanding,
and genuine connection. Don't underestimate the power of saying no.
Sometimes it's the bravest thing you can do. If you
