Setting Internal Emotional Boundaries SPARTAN MIND ep 010

Internal emotional boundaries refer to the boundaries that are required for you to set in order to avoid absorbing and taking on the emotions of other individuals. It’s important for us to set these boundaries so that we don’t become overwhelmed by the other people’s emotions and then become overregulated ourselves. We often need to become intentional with these boundaries and develop an internal coach that can remind us that we do not need to bring in feelings that are not our own.    LESSONS: Internal Emotional Boundaries are important to set so that we reduce the risk of taking on the emotions of other people. Develop an internal coach that reminds you that you do not need to absorb other people’s feelings. Use a mantra to assist in setting these internal emotional boundaries. Something like this could be helpful: That’s their feelings, it doesn’t have to be my feeling. Those are their emotions, not mind. Dr. L’s favorite: That’s their crazy, it doesn’t have to be my crazy.
