The morning is the rudder of the day. It directs your entire day. So I think about how do I set myself up for success with this boundary? And for a long time, when I set this boundary and I'm so habitually accustomed to rolling over and checking my phone, I started charging my phone in a different room. That's how you can automate a boundary with yourself. Make it as difficult as possible to do the behavior you want to or as easy as possible to uphold the boundary with Yourself.

This week I was excited to speak with Melissa Urban about her new book, The Book of Boundaries: Set the Limits That Will Set You Free. Melissa and I had an extremely insightful conversation about how setting healthy boundaries with family members, co-workers, friends and even yourself can transform your relationships, eliminate stress and improve your daily outlook.

In this chat, Melissa breaks down the vital steps towards identifying if a boundary needs to be set and the three unique levels of instituting a boundary with both honesty and kindness. Oftentimes we can think of boundaries as barriers towards achieving authentic relationships. Melissa is here to reveal why the exact opposite is the case and how when implemented properly boundaries can help save relationships and strengthen bonds.

Melissa Urban is a six-time New York Times bestselling author and has been featured by Good Morning America, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and CNBC. She is based in Salt Lake City.
