These two feelings make us think we are bad at boundaries…I’ve got something to help!

There are two common feelings that come up whenever we think about boundaries.

Guilt and resentment.

The guilt can show up when we actually set a boundary (or think about setting it).

The resentment shows up when we DON’T set the boundary. Or, when someone doesn't respect it, and we feel weird about saying it again. 

Do you ever find yourself swirling in one of these feelings?

When guilt pops up around boundaries it can be because it feels like setting a boundary is ALL about us. Or that we are being mean or selfish. But in reality, when we have our needed boundaries in place, it is good for everyone around us!

Boundaries help us be our best selves. They allow us to use our precious energy on what is most important to us, replenish that energy and share it with others, in a way that doesn’t drain us.

When we protect our energy and time through boundaries, we have SO much more to give to those around us, and we can show up for them the way we want to. 

Instead of feeling exhausted, crabby, or having a short fuse.

If you can relate to any of this, I’ve got a special gift for you today!

I created this resource around how to enforce boundaries with love, and I wanted to share it with you today.

Using this process makes it so much easier to *actually* set a needed boundary, and it is the same process I use with my clients. 

Feel free to print it out or use the prompts to journal your thoughts, and use it the next time you are struggling to set a boundary. 

Life is too short to spend it feeling guilty or full of resentment. And your energy is too precious to NOT protect it!

I hope you’ll check it out. And if you do, let me know what questions you have. I am happy to answer anything you’ve got!
