This is day 2 of my series on the 5 principles for Loving Your Life Now and Stop Being a Guilty, Stressed Out Working Mother. Yesterday’s post Stop Trying to Balance Family and Work discussed the myth of a ”balanced” life.
Instead I asked you to take another approach—to identify your core values and beliefs as a way to decide what makes your daily, weekly or monthly schedule and what doesn’t.
Here is the next step in my Love Your Life Now system for creating a more empowered life as a woman, mother and professional.
Principle #2 is: Creating (and Maintaining) Personal Boundaries
Creating boundaries is more than just learning to say no. It’s a way for you to stop agreeing to do things you really don’t want to do—that don’t reflect your core values. Furthermore, if you have strong boundaries, you’ll stop feeling guilty about putting your own needs first. You will begin to honor what is acceptable and what is not acceptable for you and your life.
You know when someone has crossed your personal boundary because you feel uncomfortable, stressed out, frustrated, angry or resentful.
Be aggressive about seeking doing things that are aligned with your core values and life goals.
