Don't put anything in your untouchable circle if you're not in the anybody in your untouchable circle, if you're not in theirs.
Friendships are supposed to be a source of joy and support, but what happens when they start to drain you instead? In this episode of 'Create Your Path', Coach Mel tackles the tricky terrain of setting boundaries with friends. If you've ever felt conflicted about how much to give and when to pull back, this one's for you. Coach Mel shares her own experiences and offers practical advice on maintaining friendships that truly align with your values and goals.
Setting boundaries with friends can be tough. You might worry about causing tension or losing a friend altogether. But as Coach Mel points out, it's crucial for your well-being. She explains how to spot unhealthy friendships—those that leave you feeling drained, unsupported, or judged. 'If you can't be your true self around a friend, it might be time to reassess that relationship,' she notes. Communication is key when it comes to boundaries.
Coach Mel encourages honest and respectful conversations about your needs. Yes, these talks can be awkward, but they're essential for healthy relationships. She provides actionable tips like being clear and specific about your boundaries and consistently enforcing them. Saying 'no' when necessary and prioritizing self-care can lead to more meaningful connections. Throughout the episode, Coach Mel uses personal stories to illustrate her points.
She also touches on the impact of social media on friendships and the importance of quality over quantity in your social circle. 'Having a few good friends is more valuable than having many acquaintances,' she says. Sometimes, setting boundaries means ending toxic relationships. While this can be painful, Coach Mel emphasizes that it's vital for your happiness and well-being. 'You might lose some people, but you'll gain those who truly support you,' she assures.
Tune in to this episode to learn how to create healthier, more supportive friendships that align with your values. Coach Mel's insights and practical tips will help you navigate the complexities of friendship with confidence.
