0:06
something that we all have been
0:07
struggling with at some point and that
0:10
is boundaries yep those invisible small
0:14
lines that need to be getting
0:18
straightened up sometimes we feel like
0:20
it's a mystery to navigate especially
0:23
when you you are taught to be the nice
0:26
girl who's always available and so
0:28
selfless but hey ladies boundaries are
0:31
very essential for your sanity for your
0:34
peace and for your own happiness so

0:41
women should embrace boundaries in both
0:44
friendships and relationships now let's
0:47
talk about protecting our space energy
0:51
and our peace mhm first things first um
0:56
what are what are boundaries what
1:00
exactly is a
1:02
boundary think of your boundaries as
1:05
your personal no trespassing sign they
1:09
Define where you end and where the other
1:12
person begins it's about self-respect
1:16
and making sure others understand your
1:18
limits it's not about building walls no
1:21
it's not about building walls and being
1:25
Untouchable no it's just about creating
1:28
guidelines for how how you deserve to be
1:30
treated because sis if you don't set
1:33
these boundaries no one will follow them
1:36
how will you expect people to follow the
1:39
boundaries that you didn't set so you
1:42
need to set them and get it out there
1:44
that hey I've got boundaries and this is
1:47
how we work around them so imagine you
1:51
are you are a house you know your
1:54
boundaries are your front door you let
1:57
people budge in whenever they want with
1:59
M issues and bad vibes your house which
2:03
is being you is going to end up being
2:06
messy exhausted and feeling disrespected
2:09
boundaries are how we say hey take off
2:13
your shoes before you come into my house
2:16
so not everyone is going to like their
2:18
tone but to make your life more easier
2:21
to make your life more manageable you
2:23
need to to to to to learn how to set
2:27
your boundaries and people in your life
2:30
they need to be very used to you having
2:34
boundaries so they know they know there
2:37
are limits when it comes to you so now
2:40
let's get into why so many people
2:42
struggle with boundaries mhm Society
2:45
plays a huge role in this from a young
2:49
age many of us have been conditioned to
2:51
put others needs first mhm be polite
2:55
don't be upset always be there for
2:58
people I know sounds familiar women are
3:01
often labeled as nous which is so
3:04
beautiful don't get me wrong but this
3:06
can sometimes lead us to being people
3:10
Pleasers and guess what being a people
3:12
pleaser is the enemy of setting
3:15
boundaries mhm it's the enemy of setting
3:18
boundaries that's why some women they
3:21
feel so uneasy when he when it comes to
3:23
them putting the foot down and setting
3:26
boundaries so they just rather let
3:28
people walk or on on top of them and not
3:31
everyone is all about that life so this
3:33
is for the ladies who want to learn how
3:36
to set those boundaries no matter how
3:38
hot it's going to
3:39
be for example think about how how how
3:44
how often women apologize for things
3:46
that aren't even their fault sometimes
3:49
someone bumps into you and you are the
3:52
one saying oh I'm sorry it's a small
3:55
thing but it's a sign of how we are
3:57
taught to shrink ourselves or in
4:00
relationships when when women often
4:02
hesitate to speak up their needs because
4:04
they fear of being too much or being too
4:08
demanding it happens so much it happens
4:11
a lot Society Whispers that we should
4:14
sacrifice our own well-being to keep the
4:17
peace but let me tell you something we
4:20
weren't put onto this Earth to make
4:23
everyone else to be comfortable while we
4:26
are suffering in silence not today and
4:30
not ever so just get out of that get out
4:34
of that leash get out of that Devil's
4:36
wish so how do you know if your
4:40
boundaries need a little work here are
4:44
your
4:47
signs the first one you
4:52
feel emotionally drained after hanging
4:57
out with certain people if your energy
4:59
is constantly depleted after spending
5:02
time with friends or loved ones it might
5:05
be that they are crossing your
5:07
boundaries emotionally and even
5:09
physically so that leaves you
5:11
emotionally drained that's one one one
5:15
sign that your boundaries need a little
5:18
work the second one is you find it hard
5:22
to say no we've all been there saying
5:26
yes to plans or favors we really don't
5:28
want to do
5:30
just to avoid confrontation but saying
5:32
no is self care and you should learn to
5:36
save no without feeling bad you're not
5:39
being rude you're not being selfish
5:41
you're just putting yourself first for
5:43
once and that's and that's the best
5:45
thing you can do for yourself and
5:47
there's nothing wrong with that there's
5:49
nothing wrong with that the third one is
5:53
you feel you feel guilty for
5:55
prioritizing your needs listen listen
6:00
you don't need to feel guilty for
6:02
needing your your time alone or choosing
6:05
yourself you don't need to to feel
6:08
guilty for that guilt is often a sign
6:11
that Society society's expectations are
6:15
messing up with your mind and you need
6:17
to get rid of that as soon as possible
6:21
as soon as soon as soon as possible I
6:23
know that sounds familiar so it's time
6:26
to reassess those boundaries my friend
6:29
it's time time to reassess those
6:31
boundaries now let's talk about
6:33
friendships for a moment because um this
6:37
is where boundaries can get
6:39
tricky real real tricky say let's say
6:43
you you have that one friend who always
6:45
wants to hang out but you have had a
6:48
long day and really need some some some
6:51
me time you know instead of feeling
6:53
obligated to say yes it's perfectly okay
6:56
to say hey I'm going to set this one out
6:59
I need to recharge I need I need to
7:02
recharge I need to to to sort my my my
7:07
own things out you know a friend will
7:11
respect your space your a friend will
7:14
respect your need you know so or let's
7:18
say you have a friend who's always
7:19
dumping their problems onto you without
7:21
asking if you have the capacity to
7:23
listen a healthy boundary could be
7:25
saying I love you but I can't handle
7:28
this right now can we talk about it some
7:31
other time boundaries in in friendships
7:34
are about mutual respect and if someone
7:37
makes you feel bad for having boundaries
7:39
they may not be the friend you think
7:41
they are cuz if I'm your friend and I
7:45
really do care about you I'm not going
7:47
to want to do things that are are just
7:50
going to keep messing up with your
7:52
energy and making you feel miserable I
7:55
wouldn't want to do that now the
7:57
relationship talk let's get real let's
8:01
get real boundaries in relationships are
8:04
just as important as they are in
8:07
friendships if not more so it's easy to
8:10
lose yourself in a relationship guys
8:13
love will make you do crazy crazy stuff
8:17
love will make you do crazy crazy stuff
8:20
you might even start prioritizing your
8:22
partner SS over your own over your own
8:26
and that's the first track to resentment
8:29
oh
8:31
girls for example uh let's
8:34
say if your partner expect you to be
8:38
available 24/7 or get upset when you
8:42
want to spend time with your friends or
8:44
your family oh my
8:46
God it's time to set a boundary MH it's
8:51
time to set a boundary a simple I love
8:53
you I love spending time with you but I
8:56
also need time to myself I I also need
8:59
time to spend with my family and I have
9:01
friends that I I I I want to hang out
9:04
with sometime you know stuff like that
9:07
they go a long way but you you need to
9:10
you need to voice these feelings out you
9:12
need to let them known you need to let
9:15
them known and if your partner has a
9:17
problem with
9:18
that you might want to change your
9:21
partner because girl you are in jail
9:24
another example is when when a partner
9:28
expects you to drop everything for them
9:31
but never doing the same thing for you
9:34
it's time to have a boundary check girl
9:36
relationships are about give and take
9:39
not only take take take setting
9:42
boundaries it it will ensure that both
9:45
people feel valued respected and most
9:49
importantly they are seen and they are
9:54
seen in a relationship as individuals no
9:58
matter how much you love your partner do
10:00
not lose your
10:02
individuality do not lose your
10:04
individuality because if you lose that
10:07
you risk losing who they they they fell
10:10
in love with so you want to hang on you
10:12
want to hang on to who you truly are you
10:15
want to hang on to to your beliefs your
10:18
your hobbies your lifestyle and I'm not
10:21
saying do not include your partners into
10:23
your life I'm not saying all of that I'm
10:25
just saying just Do not forget who you
10:27
are do not forget why why you fell in
10:30
love with someone and do not expect them
10:32
as well to change and to be fully one
10:37
with you at some point you're going to
10:40
have to understand that both of you are
10:43
two separate people you are individuals
10:45

10:48
