How To Have Better Boundaries

You're in for a treat because we're about to talk about boundaries, not healthy boundaries, not clear boundaries, just boundaries. Now, why have I removed the adjectives? Because boundaries are just an essential thing that everybody needs, PERIOD. They are necessary for healthy relationships and critical for a healthy life. In fact, the most compassionate people in the world have compassion because they have and maintain clear boundaries. Tune in as I give loads of tips on creating boundaries. Plus, I answer this question from a caller: how can I avoid being a pushover while maintaining a respectful relationship?

In This Episode:

  • [01:00] Why we need boundaries for healthy relationships and healthy lives. 
  • [03:05] The two premises you need to understand before learning about boundaries. 
  • [07:40] Veronica from Texas: how can I avoid being a pushover while maintaining a respectful relationship? 
  • [14:30] Andy talks about what it's like to be going through a massive inner and external change. 

Key Takeaways:

  • For most of us, boundary building is a relatively new concept that we didn’t learn in school. 
  • Sadly, we have been conditioned to lower our boundaries in all facets of our life. 
  • Having healthy boundaries means knowing and understanding what your limits are and giving accordingly. 
  • Personal agency is the idea that you and you alone are responsible for your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
