Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here your friendly neighborhood guide to
all things dopamine related. And today we're diving into something
incredibly crucial, something that impacts every single one of us,
building healthy relationships and setting those life giving boundaries. You
know the feeling when you walk out of a conversation drained,

(00:22):
like someone just sucked all the energy out of you.
Or maybe you find yourself constantly giving in even when
it goes against your own needs. Yeah, we've all been there.
It's not about becoming some hermit who lives off the grid,
trust me. This is about learning to cultivate relationships that

(00:45):
nourish you, that make you feel supported and empowered instead
of leaving you feeling depleted and resentful. It's about creating
a life where you can be your authentic self without
constantly compromising who you are. So how do we build
these healthy, fulfilling connections. Let's break it down into five

(01:08):
key takeaways that will seriously level up your relationship game. Firstly,
self awareness is your superpower. Before you can even think
about setting boundaries with others, you need to know what
you need and deserve. Think about those times when you
felt truly happy and fulfilled in a relationship. What were

(01:31):
the ingredients? Was it open communication, respect for each other's
time and space, shared values. Identifying these key elements helps
you create a blueprint for healthy interactions. Secondly, communication is
your best friend. It might seem obvious, but honestly so
many of us struggle with expressing our needs clearly and respectfully.

(01:57):
Practice act of listening, really, try to under stand the
other person's perspective, and don't be afraid to speak up.
Use eye statements as seat of blaming language. I feel
overwhelmed when is way more effective than you always. Thirdly,
boundaries are your lifeline. Think of them as invisible fences

(02:19):
that protect your emotional well being. They're not about being
selfish or controlling. They're about setting limits that allow you
to be respected and maintain your own sanity. It could
be saying no to a request that drains your energy,
taking time for yourself to recharge, or even ending a
conversation that feels toxic. Remember it's okay to prioritize your needs. Fourthly,

(02:45):
choose your tribe wisely. You know those friends who lift
you up, who support your dreams and make you feel
good about yourself. Surround yourself with these amazing people. Life
is too short to say spend time with those who
constantly bring you down or drain your energy quality over quantity. Always, lastly,

(03:09):
be patient and kind to yourself. Building healthy relationships and
setting boundaries takes time and effort. There will be stumbles
along the way, but don't beat yourself up about it.
Learn from those experiences, adjust your approach, and keep moving forward.
You got this. Think about a time when you felt
completely drained after interacting with someone and shock. Maybe a

(03:34):
friend kept venting about the same problem without any action
or solution in sight, or perhaps a family member constantly
demanded favors without acknowledging your own needs. These situations highlight
how important it is to set boundaries and protect our energy.

(03:55):
Imagine instead, a scenario where you clearly communicate your limits
politely to decline a request that's beyond your capacity, or suggest
an alternative activity that aligns with your interests. Notice the
difference in how you feel afterwards, empowered, respected, and in
control of your own time and energy. That's the magic

(04:17):
of setting boundaries. Remember, folks, healthy relationships are about mutual respect,
open communication, and shared values. They should make you feel
supported energized and inspired to be your best self. Don't
settle for anything less than that. So what steps will

life giving boundaries. Share your thoughts in the comments below.
