Episode notes
Boundaries Include Self-Rules
- Boundaries are expectations and behaviors that state what you need from others and yourself.
- Nedra emphasizes self-boundaries as equally important as boundaries with others.
Use Feelings As Boundary Signals
- Notice emotions like resentment, frustration, or burnout as signals you need boundaries.
- Use those feelings to identify where to set limits on your time and energy.
Take Ownership Of Boundaries
- Take ownership instead of blaming others for boundary breaches.
- State what you will change (e.g., turn off your radar at night) to protect your routine and sleep.
