#48: 3 practical ways to uphold your boundaries and protect your time, energy and wellbeing
Description
Practising self-care is not just about the activities and rituals you engage in to recharge your mind and body. What you say no to is just as important. That's where boundaries come in.
Boundaries are a way of clearly communicating your needs and your limits. They highlight what you will and won't accept. They protect you, set the tone for your relationships and give you the space you need to prioritise your wellbeing.
As Jayne Hardy so eloquently put it:
Healthy boundaries are the difference between saying "yes" because we feel we ought to and saying "no" because we mean "no".
What you say "yes" and "no" to will likely change over time, depending on your priorities, values and lifestyle. But ultimately, it's your right and responsibility to decide what your limits are and then to communicate and assert those boundaries. Which of course is the challenging part.
So let's explore three practical ways to uphold your boundaries and protect your time, energy and well-being.
