4 Steps to Boundary Setting

Do you feel like you never have any energy to do the things you love? Are you always giving away your energy to others? It’s time to reclaim your space and set some boundaries.

Here’s a 4-Step Strategy for Setting Boundaries:

1. Identify Areas to Set Boundaries
   Make a list of areas in your life where you are no longer willing to give away your energy. Choose one area that you will start working on this week.

2. Acknowledge Past Behaviours
   Recognise the other person and acknowledge what you have done in the past. You might say, "It's fine if you choose to..." or "In the past, I have..."

3. State the Boundary Clearly
   Clearly articulate your boundary: "…but that behaviour really doesn't work for me/fit with my values," or "…I am no longer willing/able to..."

4. Collaborate on a Way Forward
   Discuss how to respect the boundary moving forward: "What can we do to make sure this boundary is respected going forward?" or "What do you need to be able to respect this boundary in the future?"

Conclusion

Remember, setting boundaries is an act of self-love and self-respect. By reclaiming your energy and space, you create room for the things and people that truly matter to you.
