Boundaries 🌸

I broke my boundaries when

- I took a meeting on my day off

- I didn't meditate in the morning

- I was on my phone when I could have been playing with Eli

- I decided not to get enough sleep

- I didn't call someone out

- I agreed to something I was willing to do, but didn't want to do.
​

I kept my boundaries by:

- Saying no to meetings

- Bringing in movement whenever I can (including group coaching sessions)

- Sending gifts with love and appreciation, and with no expectation of reciprocity

- NOT sending a long email and asking for a call instead

- Continuing to learn every day

- Walking away and breathing when getting frustrated by my son, remembering he's only a kid!

- Honouring my father and showing compassion
​

Keeping my boundaries is a continuous process of asking myself, what do I want whilst I also serve others?

After a crazy week serving leaders in the Pacific and USA, this week is about extra rest for me.

My boundary is saying 'no' to anything more this week.

I love to say 'yes' to things, I get energy from action.

However this week is about saying 'no'.

​

Energy for action β˜€οΈ

First, live into the poem.

Then, email me your answer to:

-What boundary will you keep this week whilst serving others?

Then...

-Send this newsletter to one other person.
