We all need boundaries because they protect and keep us safe from unhealthy people and harmful situations. The holidays are difficult for many of us, so if that’s the case for you, here are some important questions for you to consider BEFORE you say yes to the various holiday requests you face. Once you set the boundaries, the real work happens…..holding on to the boundary. Your family may not like your boundaries and may pressure you or harass you to change your mind. So your ultimate goal is to hold onto the boundary, even in the discomfort you are feeling from your family’s disapproval. When you keep your boundaries, remember to lean into how great that feels!

Research confirms that the practice of gratitude increases our positive feelings. This month, will you commit to writing down five things each day that you’re thankful for? Today, I’m thankful for cooler days, my hot coffee with just the right amount of cream, my neighbors hanging out together at our house, a hot shower and my husband cooking dinner. Take note by writing down (or even putting it in your phone) of what you are gateful for each day!

You’ve made it through the week dear friends! Do no harm, but take no s**t is a really simple way of saying it’s okay to walk away from what isn’t serving you or helping you grow. If it does not bring you joy, you do not need to carry it every second. Happy weekend- I hope it is a weekend full of peace for you all!
