Today we're going to talk about four essential boundaries, so that the holidays can stay fun, you can have a great time with all the traditions. That's truly what the boundaries are all about.
Key Points Discussed:
- Boundaries are an essential part of the holidays, and if you're like... No, can't boundaries during the holidays, it only happens once a year. We only see our family every once in a while, our kids only have so many of these, I'm going to call BS, and especially for you, the busy working mom, because you have to have boundaries, you have to have boundaries in your business, you have to have boundaries in your family. (5:33)
- Family boundaries. Do you have any? Really think about that. A lot of people, I feel like the number one thing that should be given to people and they get married is the book Boundaries. But most of us don't hear about it until after something big has happened in our life. (7:20)
- if you're going to somebody else's house, then you ask them, what would you like me to bring? I really want to bring my super casserole, because my kids love it, but what else can I bring to help take something off your plate? (9:18)
- People are not mind readers, just like your spouse is not. Prince Charming cannot read your mind. It is so important that we take ownership. Chapter one of Jack Canfield's book, that's about the Success Principals, is take responsibility. We have to take responsibility and set the boundaries ahead of time and let people know what we expect and what we do not allow. (9:44)
- Don't forget to really truly take care of what you need, and I'm not necessarily saying going out and buying yourself the most luxurious gift or doing that, but I'm talking about taking care of your health, not overeating, taking care of your exercise, taking care of your devotion time, taking care of your rest and not getting in a place where you're wearing yourself out.
