Overgiving No More- Part 2: How Boundaries Restore Balance and Energize Your Life | Episode 288

Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery

Send us a text

Last week on the podcast, I talked about how setting healthy boundaries was the key to changing the four patterns of overgiving. I want to further that conversation today by providing actionable guidance on understanding yourself better, setting boundaries that reflect your actual wants and needs, and upholding your boundaries once you decide on them. This week’s episode 288 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how boundaries restore balance and energize your life!

If you missed part 1 of this episode, you can listen to it here: Overgiving No More - Part 1: Recognizing the Four Patterns that Drain You.

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

• What boundaries are, including some examples of the boundaries I uphold for myself and others.
• Why setting boundaries is an essential step to overcome the habit of overgiving.
• Knowing when and where to set boundaries starts with understanding what matters to you first.
• Advice for how to actually set and uphold boundaries with other people

Overgivers often overgive because we feel like we must do that to earn our place. But when you're clear on your identity, you know that you belong because of who you are, not because you've given them extra, and they're therefore allowing you to belong.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
