Helping Connectors Set a Boundary
Do you feel drained when you give more than you intended?
Try naming your limits before you feel resentful. You don’t have to give all you’ve got every time to be a good friend. You can say something like, “I’m happy to help for an hour, but then I’ll need to head out.” Notice how it feels to share your boundary clearly and kindly and to honor it when the moment comes.

🌱 GROWTH happens when we try new things with curiosity and self-compassion.
Our patterns do not define who we are. Sometimes our patterns can be seen as strengths and sometimes they show up as weaknesses. Becoming aware of our patterns allows us to deliberately find our own individual Golden Mean between the two extremes of excess and deficiency that empowers us to embrace happiness and live the Good Life.
