The JourneyFinding time by developing your boundary-setting skills is a life-journey.

How is it working for you?

Maintaining your self-trust is key.If you’re like me, you’ve probably been talked out of a boundary or two along the way! When this happens, the key is to stop eroding your trust in yourself. How can you do this?

For starters, you must decide whether a particular boundary is negotiable or not. If it is negotiable, you can be flexible. If it isn’t, then it’s crucial that you stay true to yourself.

Keeping steady is not the same as being rigid.When a boundary isn’t negotiable, everyone in your world (including YOU) needs to understand that it probably won’t be modified in the short term. Saying that something is not negotiable doesn’t mean that it can never change – but it won’t be changed lightly or “on the fly.”

So, clearly ask people to respect your boundaries. At the same time, always assure them that you will be open to discussing and perhaps modifying those boundaries when your current time requirements change.

Let me know what happens as you continue this journey!

Let’s explore time together …
