Boundaries are one of the best tools to use through life, in order to set healthy space and expectations between you and others, including the activities you do or don’t like to engage in. It’s a way to protect your peace. Getting out of your comfort zone is healthy too, but only if it’s leading you toward the things that bring you joy, not the opposite. Set boundaries and don’t mistake people pleasing for jumping into things that make you unhappy and leave you feeling drained.
Consistency is the key to achieving our goals! There are other factors of course, but consistency leads to a compound of progress that ultimately can lead to our success. If consistency with unhealthy habits can lead to damaging effects overtime, then consistency with healthy/good habits can lead to healing and beneficial results overtime as well. That’s why we shift into change, and that shift is challenging and so is consistency, but you are more than capable; it takes not giving up, even when we stumble or fall – we get back up & persevere!
Overwhelm and burnout is something we often find ourselves in, as we push ourselves to accomplish every task all at once. As we continue to want more out of life, and to be more as individuals, we push ourselves harder, and often too hard and it can have the opposite effect on us! Overwhelm is the cause and burnout is the inevitable effect. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
How we talk to ourselves shows up in the real world. It affects us and the people around us. It shows up in our life in a physical way. Negativity can manifest into disease, negative perspectives, and outcomes; so, isn’t possible that positive thinking can manifest the opposite? Working on positive inner voice builds mental strength and flexibility – which in turn makes life challenges easier to move through! So, keep cheering yourself on, it’s not for nothing!
Being vulnerable is not the same as showing weakness, although it is often perceived that way. Being vulnerable simply means stepping outside of your comfort zone and when you need it, asking for help. This is how we grow and move more authentically through life, while avoiding burnout!
