Wellbeing pillar 4
Boundaries
You only need 5-10 minutes a day to explore this wellbeing pillar and manage your Boundaries.
This may be the hardest pillar to integrate and implement into your life:
-
Do you have clarity of what your boundaries are?
-
Or how you do or might need to protect them across different areas of your life?
-
How hard is it for you to say no?
-
Are you honest with friends. family or colleagues about how their words, behaviour, and actions impact you?
-
Would you rather avoid conflict or an uncomfortable conversation that requires YOU to communicate your needs?
-
This all being at the expense of your priorities, your values, and what's important for you...
-
AND, you might be bottling up a lot of things you need to say, and eventually it comes out in volcano or vomit mode - in the wrong way at the wrong time and your needs are lost in communications.

Boundaries Empowerment Meditation
Respect and honour your boundaries and give yourself the confidence to protect them in your daily life. This meditation provides you an opportunity to let go of a personal interaction or exchange where you were unable to manage your boundaries, and by letting go you can find peace and compassion.

The 'i' Statement
Effectively communicate your personal needs.
Regularly communicating boundaries not only serves your wellbeing, but all parties involved. It results in more empathy and mutual respect which are essential to maintain healthy relationships.
By starting a sentence with "I..." it allows you to:
1. Focus on yourself - immediately addressing your needs
2. Soften the response - not in attack mode- "You..."'
3. Take away 'fault' or 'blame' from the other party - it's not about them, it comes from your values base

Dietary nitrates, like those found in beets, may enhance athletic performance.
