We all want to be more present with ourselves, with our loved ones.

Yet we get so captivated by what’s going on around us, and who could blame us?
The algorithms pull our focus with personalized, increasingly intelligent reins.

The average person spends 7 hours a day online. That’s a very good stretch of time to be influenced by external forces that capture us with their inflated sense of urgency.

📲👀 When I work with people I am really working with a person... and their phone.

We really do have relationships with our phones; we attach to our devices.
Have you ever walked through the house carrying your devices... from room to room? I sure have.

And this over-attentiveness to the outside world via our phones can damage connection and intimacy in our relationships with other humans.

As in all relationships, we need boundaries to ensure the relationship stays healthy.

We need boundaries with our phones. Here are some ideas.

+set designated phone-free times, mealtimes, or in the bedroom
+leave your phones in the car on date night.
+manage notifications to reduce distractions.
+create intentional spaces where devices are not allowed, such as during walks or while engaging in creative projects
+establish screen curfews to wind down before sleep, protecting the quiet that nourishes us.
+replace idle scrolling with mindful rituals, like journaling, reading a physical book or giving your honey a neck massage.

Consider asking yourself: When do I reach for my phone? Is it boredom, habit, or an authentic need?

By noticing these impulses, we reveal opportunities to reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.

Boundaries are not walls—they are invitations to be more present, to rediscover the moments waiting quietly just beyond the screen.

🧠 Learning to Set Boundaries Without Guilt

Setting boundaries is not selfish. It is a healthy and essential part of emotional well-being. Still, many people struggle with guilt when they start saying no, expressing limits, or asking for space.

Here is the truth:
✅ Boundaries protect your energy and relationships
✅ They help you show up with intention, not resentment
✅ They are a form of self-respect, not rejection of others

Guilt often shows up when you are doing something new, not something wrong. If you were raised to prioritize others, keep the peace, or avoid conflict, boundary-setting can feel uncomfortable at first.

Therapy can help you unlearn patterns that keep you stuck, understand your emotional needs, and build confidence in expressing them clearly.
You deserve relationships that include your voice too.

"You owe yourself the love that you so freely give to others."

It’s easy to offer kindness and support to those around you, but how often do you extend that same compassion to yourself? If you’re struggling, it’s important to remember that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.

Taking the time to nurture your own well-being allows you to show up even stronger for yourself and those you care about. Whether it’s reaching out for help, setting boundaries, or simply giving yourself space to breathe, you deserve the same love and care you so willingly share with others.

If you’re ready to start prioritizing you, reach out today.

Do you feel overwhelmed by big emotions that seem impossible to shake? It might feel like no matter how much effort you put in, those feelings keep resurfacing.
