I used to be nothing other than a rampant people-pleaser who cared more about winning approval than my own mental health.
But the thing is, when we don’t set clear boundaries, not only do we flush our MH down the drain, we actually become a shitty leader as a result.
I ended up overstepping in relationships, having no time to work ‘on’ big projects, and ended up being a sponge for all the drama in the office.
UNTIL I got very strict with boundaries.
You’ll have heard 1000 times that “you need clear boundaries”
But what you won’t ever have seen is a comprehensive, practical list of actual boundaries that you can write down and start practicing this week.
So that’s what I’ve pulled together for you today.
2 rules BEFORE I give you the boundaries:
you have to write these down, they can’t just be in your head
Write them on a sticky note and stick them to your laptop, you have to have them in your vision as a constant reminderYou have to track when you honor them and don’t
I’ll attach a spreadsheet boundary tracker at the bottom of this post, over the next 30 days, I want you to commit to tracking exactly when you do and don’t honor them (no shame here, but you need to be super honest with yourself about them)
