Learning to set boundaries isn't selfish - it's a profound act of self healing. Each time you say no to what drains you, you're saying yes to peace, clarity and self-worth.

Boundaries are how we teach others (and ourselves) that our needs matter 🧡🤎

28/05/2025

As I mentioned in my last post, I really understand that for some us, putting healthy boundaries in place can feel uncomfortable. Flooding us with feelings of guilt, worry and the fear of how someone might respond.

You might feel you're being selfish, especially if messages you received from childhood were that you should be putting others first, tending to their needs rather than your own.

But healthy boundaries aren't rejecting people, pushing them away or dismissing their feelings. They are giving you the opportunity to think about putting your needs first. To gain that renewed sense of self-worth and empowerment.

Boundaries communicate what is acceptable and unacceptable in relationships. They create clarity, helping you to feel safe and less overwhelmed.

So, perhaps you can pause for a moment, to reflect and observe....

🤎 How different might your life feel if you were to have boundaries in place?
What's one boundary you could set this week knowing you are making a healthy improvement and valuing yourself?

Do you ever find yourself saying "yes" when every part of you is shouting "No!"? Or feel other's take advantage of you and like you're losing yourself along the way?

This could be a sign that you need to start setting some healthy boundaries.

As children, many of us never had healthy boundaries modelled to us and so don't even know they're missing or even what they are.

I know setting boundaries may feel difficult, especially if this is something you haven’t really considered before. But having them in place can protect your energy, clarify your needs and create space for healthier, more respectful relationships.

So, if you're noticing some of these signs popping up, maybe it's time to think about creating and enforcing some boundaries - there's no need for guilt, it's not selfish, it's taking the very best care of your wellbeing 💛

● Anxiety shows up differently for each of us and it can be really useful to recognise the signs of anxiety setting in.

● If you notice some of these signs in someone else, ask them what they need in that moment. Let them know you understand and they can talk to you about what they're experiencing.

● If some of these signs are familiar to you and you recognise that your anxiety is setting in, remember the anxious feeling will eventually pass - it always does 🩵

● Let me know in the comments how you recognise your anxiety setting in.

When we find ourselves busy with lots of things (juggling balls and spinning plates at the same time comes to mind! 🤹‍♀️) we can often start to feel overwhelmed! 😵‍💫

Overwhelm isn't the nicest of feelings, but as with all feelings, it's giving us a message. That overwhelm feeling is telling you it may be time to slow down a little, start to prioritise and take one step at a time.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, why not take a step away for a moment and try one or two of the ideas below. This can help you take back control, find clarity and help your mental wellbeing 😊

What do you do when you're feeling overwhelmed? For me it's definitely getting out for a walk with our dog 🐾🍂🌳
Feel free to share any tips or ideas 🧡

Having anxiety sometimes means there's a lot more going on inside than can be seen on the surface by others.

We will all experience some degree of anxiety in our lives, but there are some people who just don't understand the physical, emotional and mental toll it can have on others.

They may never have experienced a panic attack, intrusive thoughts or feared the worst will happen. Never felt vulnerable, afraid, panicky or overwhelmed.

If you struggle with anxiety and feel able to, share as much information about your experiences to those close to you. This can help them gain an understanding of what you're experiencing and how it affects you personally 🤎

Father's Day for many is a day of joy and love. Although for others it can be hard bringing with it difficult feelings.

Enjoy every special moment if for you it's a day to celebrate.

But if this day is difficult for you, do what you need to take care of you.

Thinking of you all this Father's Day 🩶

The quote "Comparison is the thief of joy" from Theodore Roosevelt sums up the downside of comparing our world to others. It devalues our growth and accomplishments and literally steals our joy! 😔

So here's a little reminder for us all...

Everyone's growth looks different, no matter how big or small, it's your own unique growth and that's what's important! 🤎

💚Mental Health Awareness Week💚

Today marks the start of Mental Health Awareness Week with the focus on Anxiety.

How many times have you said "I'm fine thanks" when asked how you are or how you're feeling? Or how often have others responded in the same way when you've asked how they're doing? I bet it's A LOT!

Sometimes we respond with "I'm fine" because we don't want to burden the other person with our worries. Or, it may be that we haven't noticed or recognised how we're actually feeling.

The truth is, we all experience an array of feelings throughout our day
😳😲😊😡☹️😖😢🥴😩😝😄

Some will come and go with us hardly noticing, but sometimes, the tougher, more uncomfortable feelings stay with us a bit longer causing us to feel low in mood or anxious.

If we continue to bury these more difficult feelings and not acknowledge them, we can cause our anxiety to heighten. Learning how to observe what's going on with our thoughts and feelings and noticing the signs our body is giving us, can help us recognise when we are moving into an anxious state.

By building our self awareness and noticing when our anxiety is escalating, we can take the steps necessary to reduce our anxiety and bring ourselves back to a calm state 💚
