About this episode
Get mindful of your values and that will make setting boundaries way easier.
Boundaries are not walls, but behavioral guidelines that can allow us some control in responding to other people’s behaviors.
- Maintenance is key to basic wellbeing. Oil changes, cleaning, moisturizing, rest. People are sneaky about convincing you what ESSENTIAL maintenance is. They'll have you waxing your hairless cat and convincing you it’s necessary (weekly… until the end of time…)
- Bring snacks + a water (and other beverages, shit) because 9/10 an apple can save me from stopping at a chili’s for margaritas and fries..
- Skillshare. Co-ops. Errand stack. Ask before buying.
- Automatic savings and bill pay for essentials: rent/insurance/utilities/internet/etc.
- Cancel unnecessary bills and pay those manually. If you subscribe - set audible alerts with reminders to cancel before the next pay period.
- Establish free/cost effective healthy outlets and hobbies - physical/creative/communal- ideally one that incorporates all three.
Be realistic with yourself. Never be ashamed of where you are. You are more than your savings account or your budget.
