170: Making Boundaries Simple Pt. 2

from Dorothy and the Dealer Podcast · host Dorothy and the Dealer Podcast

We know WHAT boundaries are… WHEN we need them… So that just leaves us with one last question… HOW do we go about establishing them? That’s the topic on everyone’s lips today in the latest podcast from our Boundaries mini-series, with Mitch and Mills honing in on 5 steps you can take right now to protect your peace. Interrogate the discomfort (don’t numb it) Set boundaries with yourself first (Go within before focusing outward Communicate. Communicate. Communicate. (Stop expecting others to get your position without telling them it first) Make it a statement (Questions imply you’re open to moving the lines. You don’t have to excuse yourself) Be strong but not defensive (When you are the latter you perceive others can take that boundary off you) Remember - it’s not our job to make everyone love us. It’s to create clear lines so that when others want to come in, they know the rules.
