Too many people try to create and stick to boundaries to stop themselves saying yes when they mean no, no when they mean yes and generally getting walked all over BEFORE they get really clear on who they are.
When you’re solid on who you are and what you want, and WHY, boundaries become easy – you know where you stand and what’s acceptable to you, and your explanation comes from a place of inner confidence (if you choose to give one).
Pro tips:
1. Spend time away from specific situations working out how you want to feel, and what you’re willing to compromise on, or not.
2. Get clear on your negotiables and your non-negotiables before trying to communicate your needs.
