I remember when I use to be afraid of hurting people's feelings to the point that I would allow them to project their negative energy on me, which just put me in a negative space and feeling exhausted!! I am here to tell you that that is not only unhealthy but it's also a ridiculous thing to do to yourself.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Rule number one of self-care is to put yourself first. It took me a long time to realize this, and I still struggle with this at times, but it's so important. Without setting boundaries and putting your well-being, your energy and your health first you will always feel depleted and that's just not a great way to show up in the world.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, let's talk boundaries, shall we?? A boundary is something that you create for yourself. A boundary includes a request you make of someone to change a certain behavior and a result of what you will do to self-protect if they violate the boundary again. Because healthy boundaries promote self-responsibility and empowerment, they lead to closer relationships with others. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The boundaries you set are meant to protect you emotionally, so you need to clearly communicate when a violation has occurred. For example, you may set a boundary with your boss who yells at you by saying, "Listen, if you continue to raise your voice at me, I'm going to leave the room until you can speak calmly."⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Setting boundaries is not about trying to control the other person. That never works and is completely disempowering and separating. People don't like being controlled or forced, and the truth is that an ultimatum is actually a boundary violation against the other person.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We all have that enviable friend who somehow gets everything she needs done, yet never seems like a massive ball of stress in the process. She’s simply a highly productive person. And you can be one, too...by stealing these secrets.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are a couple of our favorites:⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ THEY START THEIR DAY THE NIGHT BEFORE - An insider tip to kickstarting your day is to prioritize your top to-do’s and write them down the night before. This good habit spares you from early-morning anxiety over what to start first. Tip: Start with tackling the most time-consuming task first. It will get the ball rolling on your productivity and may motivate you to check off the rest of your list.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ THEY DON’T MULTITASK - According to a study at Stanford University, people who multitask “do not pay attention, control their memory or switch from one job to another as well as those who prefer to complete one task at a time.” Focus on one thing and complete it before moving onto the next.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ THEY AREN’T PERFECTIONISTS - Productive people value a job well done, but they aren’t obsessive about everything being flawless—nor do they agonize over every little detail, which slows down the entire process. Let things go, learn from imperfections and adjust your routine accordingly.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Who doesn’t look forward to a day of spa treatments? The massage, the facial, the steam bath.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every moment is so luxurious, except the moment you get the bill. And sometimes that’s preceded by pressure to buy products with big markups.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spas and all the services they offer are expensive indulgences. But you can create that pampered feeling yourself for a whole lot less money. After all, the seclusion of a bathroom with running hot water is a good start for your DIY home spa.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With just a few affordable ingredients — many you likely already have in your pantry — you can easily recreate a memorable spa day at home. And a few small purchases can turn your run-of-the-mill bathroom into the perfect location for a luxurious at-home spa experience.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you feel like you need to be reintroduced to your closet? If so, you are not alone! Many of us have been living in our "comfy clothes" for well over a year. ⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many of my style clients have reached out saying, "OK, it's time to re-enter the world, and I need help. I have all these clothes, but I don't know what I want to wear, and I don't like anything that I have." Sound familiar??⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some simple steps to get reacquainted with your clothes:⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Arrange your closet by category- tops, bottoms, and so on, then sort each category by color. This will allow you to see things like, "Why do I have 10 white blouses?"⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Try limiting the number of items in each category of the same color to three.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Donate or Consign any items that are still in good condition, but you no longer need.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Be honest with yourself if you hold onto items thinking that you will finally lose those last stubborn 5 pounds.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once your closet has been re-organized, and you've gotten rid of excess or items to sell or donate, go on a little shopping trip and purchase some new items that bring you joy! Maybe something in a color, you wouldn't normally wear or a new piece showcasing the latest trends.⁣⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
