How to Set Boundaries With Yourself

We are often told how to set boundaries with other people but rarely does anyone tell us how to set boundaries with ourselves.

Do you ever spiral into stressful thoughts after another?

Do you shame yourself for not getting enough done in a day?

Do you often go to bed worrying about your to-do list?

If you said yes to any of these things, you need to set boundaries with yourself.

Sometimes the energy we need protection from is the creation of our own. We are our own worst critics, after all.

How do we do this?

Words of affirmation. Say out loud, “Everything I’m doing is enough.” Write it. Repeat it. Believe it.

You do not need to work your way into worthiness. I recently had this toxic belief unraveled out of me.

I was in a group business coaching call, and I asked a question about how to feel like what you’re doing on your day-to-day to-do list is enough.

I rarely feel like I’ve accomplished anything when I’ve accomplished so much.

The mindset coach said my belief of working into worthiness was a dangerous place to be. My enoughness was attached to what I was producing and the validation of its results.

This was a set-up for the never-ending climb to a glass ladder that does not exist.

I felt completely called out because this belief is rooted in childhood upbringing or passed from generations before me. I had a good cry after this session.

What this mindset coach help me realize is this belief of working into my worth didn’t belong to me and I can break this cycle now...and if you can relate..know that you can too.

Set boundaries with yourself by believing everything you’re doing is enough and when you have a win, small or big, celebrate the F out of it

Sincerely,

Mary
