How to Set Boundaries During the Holiday Season

As the holiday season is coming up soon and we begin to see more friends and family around this time, our boundaries can get completely pushed over in the process. It’s important to maintain our sense of self as we enjoy and spend time with those that we love. However, you must remind yourself that no is a complete sentence.    There is also nothing wrong with the word no. Some of us might think just by saying the word ‘no’ we’re being disrespectful or intentionally harmful. That’s not the case! Take a pause and ask yourself why do you feel like that or even think that’s a problem? Is this something you picked up in childhood? Take the time now to give yourself clarity that this narrative is not true.    When people are asking you to bring over dishes or gifts for the holidays, you can always take a breath and respond at another time, you don’t have to say yes right away to whoever is asking for you to deliver. And if you find out that it would be too draining for you, you don’t have to justify why something may or may not work for you!   Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
