Episode 21: Making and Keeping A Promise to Yourself

Today on The Best of You podcast, we're starting a new series on Boundaries and the Bible. And we're starting with what I call the Yes Side of No.

So many of us struggle with setting external boundaries because we keep the focus on the other person. But the work of setting boundaries starts inside of you.

In today's episode, I walk you through how to build to trust with yourself from the inside out. Here's what we cover:

1. Why I don’t believe boundaries start with No 

2. Can I really learn to trust myself? 

3. What about sin? 

4. What is an internal (vs. external) locus of control and why does it matter? 

5. Examples of promises you can make to parts of you carrying pain 

6. Examples of promises you can make to your body 

7. A challenge to you that we'll circle back to next week.
