Setting boundaries is meant to protect your peace. It builds expectations for others and yourself, on how you will show up and what you will or won't tolerate. For example, maybe you don't like crowded places so you choose not to involve yourself in activities that include those types of environments. The people in your life learn to expect that if a place is crowded, that's not your scene - that is a boundary. Now say you don't like crowded places, but you keep showing up to these types of events, because you don't want to disappoint someone - this is people pleasing. You and others are unintentionally pushing you out of your comfort zone. You will notice that the longer you spend outside of your comfort zone, the more drained you ultimately feel. We shouldn't be riding through life feeling overwhelmed and uncomfortable, because we keep overextending ourselves. We can't help every uncomfortable situation in life of course, but for what we can control, we should communicate and set healthy and unapologetic boundaries to protect our peace. Boundaries can be set with ourselves, with family, and with friends. No one is an exception to setting healthy limits.

In this episode, we get into the wonderful benefits of staying consistent with those things that bring you closer to your goals and make you feel fulfilled or accomplished! We also talk about the challenges and barriers that make being consistent difficult and how this can make us feel, including dragging us down and feeding negativity. We want you to know that consistency with new habits isn't ever easy. Sometimes it feels like a breeze, and other times you just don't know what is going on, and why you can't stay on track. Life gets in the way that's why, let it! It's okay to get knocked off course, don't let that stop you from hacking through the weeds to get back on the right path for you! Perseverance and keeping that positive inner voice/cheerleader are the two key pieces in keeping that consistency train moving. Give yourself grace during the times you feel unmotivated or uncontrollable life situations come up. Trust the process, trust yourself, and never give up!

In this episode of So Much More, we continue to discuss overwhelm and how that sometimes shows up in our lives. We discuss some personal experiences and how we have both navigated the signs of our overwhelm and burnout. The ways that we recognize overwhelm in ourselves and how we manage that stressor are as different and unique to us, as they will also be to you. When it comes to noticing signs of stress, overwhelm, and burnout, as well as how we handle that stress and overwhelm is not a one size fits all. The first step for anyone, however, is becoming aware and then finding ways that work for us to avoid burnout effectively. Whether that's talking it out (communication), organizing daily/weekly tasks, exercise/movement, meditation, eating healthier, etc. - it can be a combination of any of these things. It's important to recognize the source and adjust your lifestyle to reduce your stress levels as much as you possibly can, you deserve peace. Life is too short to be in survival mode all day every day!
