Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, folks, welcome back to rewire my cravings. Please
your daily dose of real Talk, where we tackle those
cravings not just for chocolate or that extra slice of pizza,
but also those pesky habits and patterns holding us back.
Today we're diving into a craving. I know all too well,

(00:21):
the need to please everyone, to be there for every
single person all the time. Ever felt like you were
running on fumes, constantly trying to meet everyone else's expectations.
You know that feeling when your to do list is
longer than a grocery aisle and your phone never stops
buzzing with requests. Yeah, me too, But guess what, it's

(00:45):
okay to say no sometimes. In fact, it's downright essential.
If you want to cultivate healthy boundaries and prioritize your
own well being. Think of boundaries like fences around your
emotional space. They protect you from feeling overwhelmed and depleted.

(01:06):
They help you define where you end and others begin,
allowing for healthy relationships built on respect and mutual understanding.
Now I know what you're thinking, Leo. Setting boundaries sounds scary.
What if people get mad? Here's the thing. True friends
and family will respect your need for space and time

(01:27):
to recharge. And let's be honest, those who aren't willing
to understand your boundaries probably aren't worth holding on to
any way. Let's break down five key takeaways to help
you build those crucial boundaries. One. Recognize your limits first
things first, know yourself what drains your energy, what situations

(01:52):
make you feel uncomfortable or pressured. Identifying your triggers is
the foundation for setting healthy boundaries. Think of it like
knowing your favorite playlist. You wouldn't want someone blasting heavy
metal when you're craving some smooth jazz right. Two practice
saying no and mean it. This one can be tough,

(02:15):
but saying no doesn't have to be a dramatic declaration.
Sometimes as simple I appreciate the offer, but I'm already
committed to something else is enough. Remember it's your time
and energy. You get to decide how you spend it. Three.
Communicate clearly. When you do need to set a boundary,

(02:37):
communicate it clearly and respectfully. Don't beat around the bush
or apologize excessively. Just state your needs calmly and confidently.
Think of it like ordering food at a restaurant. You
wouldn't hesitate to tell the server what you want right. Four,
set realistic expectations. We can't be everything to everyone all

(03:01):
the time. It's okay to say you can't help with
every request or solve every problem. Remember, being supportive doesn't
mean sacrificing your own well being. Think of it like
a pie. There are only so many slices. Five. Be consistent.
The key to successful boundaries is consistency. If you give

(03:23):
in occasionally, people will learn to test those boundaries. Stick
to your guns, and remember you deserve respect and the
freedom to prioritize your own needs. Let me tell you
about Sarah, a friend of mine who used to say
yes to every invitation, every favor, every request. She was

(03:44):
always exhausted and constantly putting others before herself. One day,
she realized she needed to make a change. She started
by saying no to a few social engagements that didn't
truly excite her. Then she set boundaries with family members
who constantly ask for favors. It wasn't easy at first,

(04:07):
but Sarah felt so much lighter and more energized once
she learned to prioritize herself. Now here's the takeaway. Setting
boundaries isn't selfish, it's self care. It's about honoring your needs,
protecting your energy, and creating space for healthy relationships that

(04:28):
genuinely enrich your life. Remember, you deserve to feel empowered, respected,
and in control of your own time and energy. So
go ahead set those boundaries. All right, folks, That's all
the time we have for to day. But remember this
is a journey, not a destination. Keep practicing those boundary

(04:52):
setting skills, Be patient with yourself, and don't hesitate to
reach out if you need support or accountability. Join me
