Setting Boundaries and Learning to Say No
Our tendency is to fight what we cannot control. We kick and scream against the force that threatens to pull us under. This actually tightens the invisible grip that life has on us. The way out is to not resist; this feels counterintuitive.

Setting Boundaries and Learning to Say No
Saying no can be difficult. We worry that we will disappoint others, damage relationships, be viewed as selfish. Many of us have been conditioned to feel guilty when we say no, even when saying yes is not in our own best interest. Often, saying yes when we don’t want to creates internal conflict resulting in resentment and exhaustion.

Building Confidence
The following exercise is a gentle practice that builds self-confidence and teaches us how to own our accomplishments. Some have been taught that it is 'wrong' to claim our achievements, that this is arrogant and boastful. Perhaps well-intended, this philosophy is erroneous. It assumes that we cannot own our strengths and accomplishments
The following exercise is a gentle practice that builds self-confidence and teaches us how to own our accomplishments. Some have been taught that it is 'wrong' to claim our achievements, that this is arrogant and boastful. Perhaps well-intended, this philosophy is erroneous. It assumes that we cannot own our strengths and accomplishments and also remain humble. We can do both.
When we are able to reflect on what we are most proud of and how we achieved this, we gain strength and power. We shift the story when we are able to connect that our achievements are not a result of external forces (yes, we are grateful for the help we've received) and are also the result of our work.
