3 ways to set a boundary while keeping it light & respectful
Hey there, boundary-setters and vibe enthusiasts! 🌟
We all know that setting boundaries is like the unsung hero of adulting, helping us maintain our sanity and keep the good vibes flowing. But, let's be real – there's an art to this whole thing. How do we assert ourselves without turning into the "B" word? Well, you're in for a treat! In this blog, we're spilling the tea on three secrets that'll have you setting boundaries like a pro – all while keeping things friendly, cool, and drama-free.
Get ready to ditch the drama and embrace the magic of boundary-setting that leaves everyone smiling. Let's dive in! 🚀
1️⃣ Fill in the STORY with your 'NO'.
Our brains automatically fill in missing pieces of information. Saying 'no' without context invites interpretation. Avoid lengthy stories (they stem from guilt).
The trick is to provide a SHORT & sweet context for your 'no,' preventing misinterpretation (some may still fill in, but not your concern).
Examples:
✨ "Appreciate the ask! I'm opting for a night in."
✨ "Busy right now, will get to it really soon. Thanks!"
✨ "Moving forward, it'd be better if you didn't do that. I'd really appreciate it, thanks!"
Keeps it brief, not b*itchy, & ends the conversation.
2️⃣ Use a LIGHT TONALITY.
Establishing boundaries doesn't demand harshness. Think light, curious, almost playful. Avoid unnecessary conflicts by maintaining a friendly tone.
3️⃣ Start with APPRECIATION and/or understanding.
ASSUME acceptance of your boundary. Express gratitude for understanding or frame requests positively.
Examples:
✨ "THANK YOU for understanding, I’m planning a quiet night in."
✨ "Hey babe, mind cleaning up after cooking? Would appreciate it! Love you!"
This approach aligns actions with the brain's desire to reciprocate appreciation.
----> Boundaries are crucial in the feminine era.
Setting your boundaries is an act of self-love and a knowing of your worth. Our fears and doubts (or subconscious programming) can really prevent us from being true to ourselves.
