Thank you so much for sharing this video with us and thank you for sharing your grace and peaceful energy! .. I do actually have a bit of a situation I could use your insights with. So there's this guy who is a colleague and who has been showing interest in me over the last month. He's cool, but he hasn't asked me out or clarified his intentions or anything yet. We text from time time, studying-related chats with a bit of humor here and there but that's all. Now I have a religious principle for interacting with men which necessitates that male-female interactions outside of the frame of marriage must be formal (so no joking around, no unneeded chats, no getting familiar ...etc) What I want your help with is how to communicate to that guy that I don't want all the jokes and casual way of calling me without a title? I need to interact with them ad formally as possible because that's what I feel is right for me. So how do I tell them that without coming off aggressive or off-putting?
Alyssa, Thank for sharing these tips with us on how to set healthy boundaries and say yes to the life we want to create. You have so much wisdom, poise, beauty and love!
Thank you so much. This is an area I need more practice in. I am pretty clear with my yeses and nos, but I am not always so confident in how to deliver them lovingly and I don't want to spend my precious time going back and forth with others over things that don't matter to me. I would love a script for times when I am tempted to walk away and how to handle that quickly and affirmatively with grace.
I have so many scripts but it's easier when you share specifically what type of situation you're in. A general one could be, "I love that you asked, thank you... let me sit with it and if it feels like a yes, I'll follow up."
Alyssa - thank you for this video! I am experiencing pressure at work to participate in activities beyond my job description, and would like to know what a good response would be to future inquiries? I'd like to help when I have the energy to do so, but at that same token I don't want to be perceived as a "yes" man or someone who is easily taken advantage of. Thank you for your input!
Alyssa, if people go to our higher up to complain about when I say no, and come back with forced to do what I do not want to do. What can do? Thank you for your answer in advance. ❤️
I actually agree with what you're saying here Patti. I'm thinking you might have heard it incorrectly, I don't remember saying "boundaries are expectations".

Boundaries are saying yes to yourself-wow I love that

Alyssa, this video has inspired me to set boundaries with my adult son and his family. I definitely need practice in this area!
I love this! Thank you so much for creating this video and for the amazing message/tips that you give :)

Make more videos, please. I love this
super valuable, powerful video!!!
Ah thanks honey! Means a lot from you...
I disagree that boundaries are expectations. I cannot control how another chooses to act. Expections can lead to disappointment.
