Boundaries are for myself and they involve other people a lot of times, but they're not necessarily made for other people all the time. Sometimes they are, but not all the time.
As life starts to resemble some sense of normalcy post-pandemic, the stress of this transition can be daunting. Rachael and Dr. Lou tackle this very issue, offering practical advice on how to set boundaries with yourself and others to ease the journey back to everyday life. In this episode of 'Thrive with Rachael and Dr.
Lou', they dive into why establishing personal boundaries is crucial for your mental well-being and how it can help manage anxiety during these times of change. They emphasize that boundaries are primarily for your own benefit and not necessarily designed to control others. This means recognizing what feels right for you without being overly concerned about others' opinions.
One of the key takeaways is learning to be assertive in a way that respects both your needs and those of others, without feeling the need to push people away or cut them out entirely. The duo also explores why setting boundaries can be challenging, often due to fears of rejection or not fitting in.
They encourage listeners to focus on their own needs and to understand that while setting boundaries might not yield immediate results, the long-term benefits are worth the effort. The conversation extends to handling differing opinions and life circumstances, especially from family and friends who may have their own ways of doing things. Rachael and Dr. Lou stress the importance of respecting these differences while staying true to your own needs.
Tune in for a thoughtful discussion that aims to help you navigate this transitional period with confidence and self-respect.
