Thank you for this video, I got a lot out of it! One thing I have learned in life about setting boundaries is that we don’t have to justify them or act like they are just because of some inadvertent thing right now when what we really want is not to be asked again. We can thank people for thinking of us and validate what they are doing without saying yes, or making excuses why not. “Thanks for thinking of me, I’m not available but that’s great that you are doing that. I hope it goes well!” If they try to convince you, just keep repeating it. Don’t start making excuses because then they think you owe them one and can somehow convince you. If they badger you, ask them not to badger you! Don’t be afraid to show humorous awareness of their audacity, and try to show love in other ways when you see them. They will be fine, and if they are not fine, they didn’t come fine in the first place. It’s not you. And you can’t fix that. Also boundaries need to be established and re-established. It’s not always enough to set them once. Remind people when they over step and don’t allow it without at least a look! 🤨😄 and repeat like a broken record until they tire of the whole thing and bother someone else 😂🤷♀️😅
Another great interview. I’m getting so much for myself (personal growth) my business dealings (managing communications) and for my family (creating awareness to resources that are on point, professional and target rich) and friends. Thank you and keep it going!
