This is my first time in a bundle, there's 60 different courses that you can access on mindfulness, perfectionism, anxiety, people-pleasing, business hacks, imposter syndrome, general wellbeing and much more.

I ll be offering my Interactive Guided Journal for People-Pleasers which is a gentle self care hour to help you create a vision and next steps towards prioritising you.

It's worth $5500 dollars if you bought them all separately but it's just $97 (£78) for as many as you want to sign up to.

It's amazing and I've downloaded so many courses already.

Boundaries are the invisible lines between what's ok and what's not ok.

When we communicate them, it offers people the opportunity to respect us and tell them how they can meet our emotional needs.

Many people who struggle with boundaries feel emotionally unsafe a lot of the time, and one reason for this is that they are not protecting their emotional needs with boundaries.

For example, if I feel emotionally unsafe when someone is shouting at me, if I communicate the boundary "I'm not happy with you shouting at me, I'm going to go out and when you are calm, we can talk."

This takes us out of the situation that is not emotionally safe and communicates to the other that you will only engage in certain conditions that feel right for you.

Of course we need to stick to and implement these boundaries (which can be tough) for people to respect them fully.

Sometimes we need to look at the parts of us that do t feel safe to set boundaries, and ensure they feel safe before you can do this.

We know it's good to feel our feelings.

But it can be so difficult!

Especially if those emotions are strong and overwhelming!

If there's resistance to feeling a feeling , there's probably a part of you that doesn't feel safe.

It might worry what will happen to you if you feel those feelings.

It stops you from fully feeling them in a way that feels beneficial, cathartic or therapeutic.

In therapy, we create a holding, compassionate space of containment, so that helps to support the parts of you that feel unsafe to feel those difficult parts of you.

All parts are welcome.

Sometimes we need to acknowledge the protective, resistant parts of you,stay with them until you are ready to go deeper.

This all applies to your process if you are working on yourself also.

Try not maintain gentleness and curiousity when feeling what's there.

Sometimes we can't rush the process.

Facing what we fear is hard work!

But feel the fear and do it anyway does not always work.

We can overwhelm our nervous systems and not make the traction that we hoped.

It's easy to get frustrated with the parts of us that find it difficult or overwhelming to change.

But if we maintain understanding and compassion for these parts, whilst taking small actions that feel achievable and not overwhelming this can be kinder and more effective.

It's all about tiny steps and compassion.

Often we just say, we're tired.

But there's actually many different types of fatigue.

It can be helpful to identify what type of fatigue you are experiencing to work out what needs attention and how best to rest and recharge.

To find out how to best to recharge from these different types of fatigue, check out my last post.

Let me know what helps you.

This happens for a variety of reasons:

🌿You're not in the habit of listening to your needs.

🌿Maybe because you don't feel you deserve it and that other people are more needing or important than you.

🌿You have high standards that are impossible to achieve so you just keep giving/working.

🌿Being of use or help to others is a big value of yours, so much so, that you forget you need your down time too.

🌿You might feel guilt for stopping, for enjoying yourself or looking after yourself.

Any others reasons you don't allow yourself rest, fun and self-care? Let me know in the comments.
