Boundaries

Contemplation

1. Do I tend to place the needs of others ahead of my own?
2. Do I have a need to please others, at my own expense?
3. How can I offer myself acceptance in a way that is safe and respectful of my own needs and limitations?
4. Where do I have unmet expectations that come from sharing and giving without balance?
5. What needs are going unmet by myself and others as a result of my overgiving ?
6. What boundaries do I need to put in place?
7. Where or when or with whom do I need to practice saying No.
8. If saying No feels too uncomfortable what words I can use instead to communicate my decision to not meet a request or expectation?
9. What is the cost of continuing to say yes when I need to say NO?
10. Can I live with the consequences of saying yes when No is really the appropriate response?
11. How will I feel and how will my life change if I learn to say yes to myself and my needs first?
12. What are the benefits to myself and others when I exercise strong boundaries?
