What does the word “boundaries” mean to you? Is it a line on a map that separates fields or towns? Or is it something that you think of in relation to human relationships? There are three types of personal boundaries: 🚫 First is the ability to say “No.” Some of us are such people-pleasers that we agree to things even when we know that we don’t have the time, the energy or the skills needed. And yet saying “No” is vital to good mental and physical health. A weak “No” can result in fatigue and chronic illness or poor mental health. This is something I saw a lot of when I worked as an osteopath treating patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. 🚫 The second type of weak boundaries is difficulty in asking for the things we need. I know I had tremendous trouble with this in the past, but it all changed when I started to understand personal boundaries. We all have a right to get our needs met – though we can’t expect any one person to meet all of our needs. 🚫 The third boundary problem is when we have difficulty regulating or managing our emotions. This is what the couples therapist Terry Real describes as being boundaryless. When we are unable to regulate our emotions we tend either to bottle them up or to let them out without any limits. And this is not a pleasant experience for the person on the receiving end! Where are you with boundaries? If you want to explore this further, here’s a tip to get you started: 📝 Sit down with a blank piece of paper and write down everything you need. Include everything you can think of from food and water to love and fun. The list may well be enough to fill the paper. ✍️ Now write down everything you have not said “No” to that has got in the way of you getting your needs met. Finally have a think – how often do you give your partner or a friend the unexpurgated version of what you’re feeling? Are you so boundaryless that you can’t hold anything in? Maybe this is a good time to examine your boundaries, with it being New Year. What would you like to change in the coming months?

Saying ‘YES’ all the time and to anything and everything does not necessarily make you a good, easygoing or nice person.  You will only end up overwhelming yourself, especially when you take up more than you can handle just to please others.  Moreso, people would end up seeing you as a pushover and thus take advantage of you every chance they get. This is why it is important to know when and how to say ‘NO’. And mind you, saying ‘NO’ when necessary, doesn't make you a bad, rude or arrogant person.   In fact, when you know when and how to say ‘NO', people will see you as a confident person and not some pushover who tries too hard to be lovable. ‘NO' is a very powerful word. It helps to set boundaries.  Now, some people are good at saying no but some struggle with this word. However,  whether you are good at saying no or you struggle, you need to understand that this is a necessary word you need to know how to use and when to use. WHEN TO SAY NO You should say ‘NO' when: 1. You're already overwhelmed or busy. 2. The request doesn't align with your priorities or values. 3. It would compromise your well-being or goals. 4. You simply don't want to do it. (Picture from Liane Davey)  #sayingno #sayingnoisokay #trending

We know burnout and stress can contribute to mental health problems. One of the best things you can do for your mental health is to create space in your routine for rest and downtime. Learn to say 'no' - no to society's standards of busyness and 'always on' approach to digital devices. Instead of trying to squeeze everything in, do life at your own pace and prioritise what's truly valuable to you.

Success is not just about talent or luck; it’s frequently constructed on the foundation of daily habits. Here are six essential habits that can pave the way for success:- 1. Gratitude Cultivating gratitude fosters a positive mindset, allowing you to appreciate what you have rather than focusing on what you lack. It fuels resilience & optimism, crucial traits for navigating life’s challenges. 2. Timeboxing Effective time management is essential to productivity. Timeboxing involves allocating specific time slots for tasks, helping you stay focused & organized. By allocating specific time slots for tasks & adhering to a structured schedule, individuals can optimize their productivity & make significant strides towards their goals. 3. Saying No Learning to say no is essential for setting boundaries & prioritizing your goals. It allows you to conserve the time & energy for tasks that align with your objectives, preventing burnout & fostering a healthy work-life balance. 4. Sleep Quality sleep is fundamental for physical health, cognitive function, and emotional well-being. Prioritizing adequate rest ensures you’re alert, productive, and capable of tackling challenges with clarity and focus. 5. Seeking Feedback Continuous improvement is made easy by seeking feedback from others. Constructive criticism helps identify areas for growth & development, enabling you to refine your skills & achieve mastery in your field. 6. Living in the Present Dwelling on past mistakes or worrying about the future can hinder progress. Embracing mindfulness and living in the present moment allows you to fully engage with your current tasks & experiences, leading to greater fulfilment & success. By incorporating these habits into your daily routine, you can cultivate a mindset and lifestyle conducive to success, enabling you to achieve your goals and aspirations. #ponderofthoughts #success #gratitude #positivemindset #appreciate #resilience #optimism #challenges #timeboxing #timemanagement #productivity #goals #focus #achievement #sayingno #lifestyle #worklifebalance #sleep #seekingfeedback #growthanddevelopment #livinginthepresent #dailyhabits #dailyroutine #dorthysteven

Listennnn, saying "no" used to be a struggle for your girl, like for real! When I did say it, I would give this long-winded explanation as to why I couldn't do it (some things do deserve an explanation, but not all). I used to take on so much that I didn't know which way I was going. It got to the point where I was TIRED - burnt out, EMP-TY! • Here's the thing, I thought I could handle it, all of it, but that was a lie! I was no good for anybody - not myself, my family, my friends, or the job(s). I was depleted. Irritated beyond my understanding and just done pouring from an empty cup. It was time to be less selfless and more selfish with taking care of me. • I came to realize that I would say, "YES!" (loud and proud, too) to everyone because I didn't want to let people down. I didn't want to feel like a failure by not being able to take on every task, opportunity, or event requested of me. In reality, though, I was weak and too busy people-pleasing, that I failed to put myself FIRST. • Oh, but now, nah. I refuse to be that person at this point in my life. I wasted a lot of time saying "yes" to do the things that I did not want to do. Only to end up feeling overwhelmed, irritated, resentful, and fatigued. Sometimes, I have a lot on my plate, and other times, I just don't want to. I need space to do me, whatever that is. • Listen, y'all, take care of you first. Setting boundaries will teach people how to respect you and how to handle you with care. Otherwise, they will use you up for their benefit until the last drop. We are not doing that anymore! If anything, we're reclaiming our time. • Growing In Grace Conference — November 2024. More details coming soon.

Any tips on how to prioritize my time? - Jessica Maples, Lowell, Mass A: Hey Jessica, I get it, it can be tough to decide where to focus our energy among lifes demands. I put my tasks into four buckets: 👇 Do First: These are non-negotiable or urgent (working out, family time, and important calls and work projects). 👇 Schedule: I put important tasks in my calendar and tackle them by the end of day (key communications, upcoming deadline work). 👇 Delegate: I hand off less important tasks (low-priority calls and email), or carve out time during low-energy periods of the day. 👇 Don’t Do: Learn to say ‘no’ to low-priority tasks.

When opportunities present themselves they are so tempting to just say yes. However, I believe you must be careful to accept those opportunities that further your vision. Declining an offer that does not align with your goals and strengths could be the best thing that you do for your career. Why? Saying no to the wrong ones creates space for better opportunities to present themselves - ones you should accept. Prioritize and make strategic decisions when it comes to accepting opportunities that come your way. It takes courage to say no, but in doing so, we make room to say yes to the opportunities that are meant for us.

Thoughts and tips on Boundaries! How many times have you said “no” or stated a need or set a boundary of any kind , only to feel bad or somehow allow yourself to get talked right out of set boundary? 🙋🏽 anyone? The thing is, the moment you begin to set boundaries, it’s a shift, a huge change for those closest to you. People in your professional and personal life will not understand and will definitely not “believe” you at first. Every time we go back on a boundary, cave... we teach others that we also don’t believe our boundary is valid or needed. This is usually simply trained behavior, not malicious. It’s important not to take it personal when our boundary isn’t honored at first, after all we have trained others in how we want to be treated. The follow through is the most important part of boundary setting. Setting the boundary is hard no question, especially if it’s new for you, but keeping it in place is where the changes occur! Some tips to boundaries: -state what you are available for or will do. - don’t take other parties reaction personally, that’s their business. - state needs with kindness. - ask questions regarding possible other options to solve problem. - restate your “no” and /or what you can do if negotiations begin. Boundaries are important for your relationship with yourself and with others. Practice makes it easier, but understand that if you are a “yes person”, saying “no” is not ever going to feel great, stop expecting that. You feeling guilty or bad over saying “No” is an indication that this likely needs to happen more. If someone in your life is now setting boundaries, no need to take it personal; what an amazing growth step for them. #coachingbykel #boundaries #healthyrelationships #sayingno

When teaching kids about assertiveness, it is important to Discuss how there are boundaries in the world, or lines that should not be crossed. These exist on a physical level, like stop signs or even “personal bubbles” (the space around our bodies) as well as emotional boundaries (things that hurt our feelings). One way to respect these boundaries is by discussing the power of “no.” Whether it’s an unwanted hug from grandma or a bossy friend on the playground, kids need to hear that assertively saying no is not only acceptable--it’s their right.

Narcissists have a false self. They’re master illusionists. They behave like a little king or queen — whether bragging or sulking. Their whole personality is a charade crafted to deceive you into believing they are confident, superior, self-sufficient, likable, and caring. Their personality is designed to impress and compensate for their hidden shame, exposed when their grandiosity doesn’t match reality. Most of the time, they will alter their perception of reality to protect their false self. An air of self-confidence and superiority inflates narcissists’ opinion of themselves, which shields them against unconscious feelings of inadequacy. It also shifts shame by projecting inferiority onto others. They distort, rationalize, twist facts, and delude themselves to avoid anything that may cause a chink in their armor. #therapy #therapist #mentalhealth #anxiety #gaslight #narcissm #narcissist #healing #childhoodtrauma #traumaresponse #loveyourself #appreciateyou #youmatter #trauma #settingboundaries #peoplepleaser #sayingno #overwhelmed SEO: How to implement mental health strategies when suffering from anxiety, depression, and low mood symptoms.

📣The truth about people pleasing and how to break free⁠ ⁠ What’s so bad about being kind and making others happy? Don’t we all want to be like this?⁠ ⁠ That’s what I used to think before I burnt out. Then I understood it’s not healthy, especially in the long-run. ⁠ ⁠ Where does this come from?⁠ ⁠ People pleasing isn’t just about making others happy. It comes from old beliefs that were placed on girls and women. Society expected us to be kind and agreeable – even when we don’t really want to. ⁠ ⁠ In conversations with my clients, this is something that comes up ALL THE TIME. ⁠ ⁠ So how can we break free from people pleasing?⁠ ⁠ ✨️ Explore your thoughts, beliefs and emotions in typical situations⁠ ⁠ ✨️ Identify a pattern or limiting beliefs⁠ ⁠ ✨️ How can you rewrite the stories you tell yourself?⁠ ⁠ Once you’ve identified where and when you want to stop people pleasing, start small and take the first step.

Kano: Satisfy smartly ➟ Choose impactful delights. Escape the task trap. Reclaim your time and energy for what truly moves the needle. Decision-making isn’t just about options...it’s about direction. Turn ‘no’ into a tool that creates success. P.S. Which one will you use to say No next? (Post Credit - Jay Mount) #remoteLeadership #leadership #leadershidevelopment #sayno #sayingno

In the hustle of our everyday lives, it's crucial to remember the power of saying 'no'. It's not just about declining offers but about prioritizing what truly matters to us. By choosing to focus on essential tasks, we protect our time and energy for the most impactful activities. This week, let's challenge ourselves to evaluate our commitments. Are we spreading ourselves too thin? Remember, it's not about doing everything—it's about doing the right things that align with our core values. By setting clear boundaries, we not only enhance our productivity but also ensure the quality of our work and life. It’s time to stop, think, and make conscious choices about what deserves our time. #boundaries #timemanagement #productivitytips #worklifebalance #sayingno

Today’s Reminder: The Art of Saying No! 🚫 Ever felt stretched thin by countless requests, commitments, and obligations? You’re not alone. But here’s the secret: Saying no isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a bold declaration of your boundaries and priorities. 💪 Picture this: You’re faced with an enticing yet time-consuming opportunity that doesn’t quite fit into your life puzzle. Instead of spreading yourself thin, you confidently decline, freeing up space for the things that truly matter. 🌟 Example of Saying No: „Thank you for thinking of me, but I have to decline this opportunity as it doesn’t align with my current priorities. I appreciate your understanding.“ Saying no is about honoring your time, energy, and goals. It’s about staying true to yourself and your vision, even if it means turning down appealing distractions along the way. 🌈 So, the next time you’re tempted to say yes out of obligation or guilt, pause and ask yourself: Does this opportunity align with my goals and values? If not, don’t hesitate to respectfully decline. Your future self will thank you for it. 😉 How do you navigate saying no gracefully? Share your tips and experiences in the comments below, and tag a friend who could use a gentle reminder to prioritize their well-being and goals! Let’s embrace the power of no and pave the way for a more intentional and fulfilling life. #SayingNo #Boundaries #Priorities #SelfCare #Empowerment #Mindfulness #LiveWithPurpose“

Let the sunshine into your soul. While traveling, we spent 2 winters in the south. It was heaven. After this past winter in the midwest, I learned that I do best with lots of warm, sunny days in my life. I almost never left our cozy, little condo. To be honest, I think I only went outside once during January. I was done traveling all the time. Yes, I loved seeing new places. But how many of us have been exhausted after vacation? It was mostly a 2 year vacation and I was tired and homesick. So, I entered a season of rest. One of the best things the past few years has given me is permission to take time. It is ok to say no to things you are not interested in anymore. It is ok to say no to being busy all the time. It is ok to do you. So for now, I am in a season of quiet. And it is so good. #slowliving #slowingdown #livingquietly #lessbusy #sayingno #beyou #beauthentic

Feeling overextended and exhausted? Set boundaries, prioritize well-being. Evaluate commitments, decline ones not aligning with goals.

Recently, I got a phone call from a relative during my work day. 📞⁠ ⁠ Normally I wouldn’t pick up while I’m working, but we’d been trying to get in touch with each other for a while, so I decided to take a short phone break.⁠ ⁠ We talked for fifteen minutes or so, and then I told them I needed to get back to work.⁠ ⁠ 👉️ Their tone immediately changed. Responses were clipped, the warmth drained from their voice.⁠ ⁠ Cue people-pleasing urges. BIG TIME. ⁠ ⁠ Or...how about a different option? 🤔⁠ ⁠ Keep reading >> LINK IN BIO⁠

Talking too much is a poor habit that, when developed, consumes nearly all of the time intended for productive activities. Too much-talking results in less listening and more talking. In order to learn more from what others have to offer, successful people tend to speak less and listen more. #therapy #therapist #mentalhealth #anxiety #gaslight #narcissm #narcissist #healing #childhoodtrauma #traumaresponse #loveyourself #appreciateyou #youmatter #trauma #settingboundaries #peoplepleaser #sayingno #overwhelmed SEO: How to implement mental health strategies when suffering from anxiety, depression, and low mood symptoms.

Give your self the gift of “maybe” & create some space to think through your decisions. Because m a y b e it’s time to consider whether you actually agree with the level of your agreeability❓

Ready to say no? In a world filled with endless demands and distractions, learning to say no is a powerful act of self-care and empowerment. Saying no isn't about being selfish or uncooperative—it's about setting boundaries, preserving your time and energy, and prioritising what truly matters to you. Here's why saying no is essential: 1 Protects Your Time: Every time you say yes to something, you're also saying no to something else. By saying no to tasks, commitments, or opportunities that don't align with your goals or values, you free up time for the things that truly matter to you. 2 Preserves Your Energy: Your energy is finite, and spreading yourself too thin can lead to burnout and exhaustion. Saying no allows you to conserve your energy for the activities and relationships that bring you joy and fulfillment. 3 Maintains Boundaries: Saying no is a powerful way to establish and maintain healthy boundaries in your personal and professional life. It communicates your limits and reinforces respect for your time, space, and needs. 4 Fosters Authenticity: When you say yes out of obligation or fear of disappointing others, you compromise your authenticity and integrity. Saying no with honesty and clarity allows you to stay true to yourself and honour your values. 5 Promotes Self-Care: Saying no is an act of self-care that prioritises your well-being and mental health. It's okay to prioritise your needs and say no to things that drain your resources or cause undue stress. Remember, saying no is not a rejection—it's a conscious choice to honour yourself and your priorities. Embrace the power of saying no, and watch how it transforms your life for the better. 🙌 #SayingNo #SelfCare #Boundaries #mhpp #mariohalouvas #productivity #timewhisperer #technologytraining #performance #outlook #microsoft #aitraining
