  feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and stretched too thin? It's probably because
• 0:05
  you've been giving too many people access. If you're tired of people
• 0:10
  pleasing, caring too much, and wondering why peace still feels so hard to hold on
• 0:16
  to, you're in the right place. Hey, I'm Lori, mom and former people pleaser in
• 0:22
  Your Boundaries Coach. Here we talk about how to protect your peace, set healthier
• 0:27
  boundaries, and get clear on what actually matters so that you can build a
• 0:32
  life that feels lighter, calmer, and more satisfying. So let's pause the chaos for
• 0:37
  a minute moms, catch your breath, and get into this next episode.
• 0:45
  Hey friend, welcome back to Healthy Boundaries for Moms. This is your midweek
• 0:50
  reset. I want you to think of it as a quick coaching check. This is to help you
• 0:56
  get back in the game and on track. Because let's be honest, by the middle
• 1:00
  of the week things are drifting. So today we are resetting. I want you
• 1:07
  to picture your heart like a vault. This is where everything valuable is
• 1:13
  stored. You're saying to yourself, okay like what is going into this vault?
• 1:18
  Well I'm glad you asked. Your time, your energy, your peace, that's what's going
• 1:25
  into this vault. And most of us, I mean we're just letting everybody make a
• 1:30
  withdrawal, right? And we're not even thinking about it. And at first you get a
• 1:36
  signal and it's usually resentment. This is the first signal that goes off in the
• 1:41
  vault. That something's up, something's wrong. And there's that look, right? That
• 1:49
  you're just giving your spouse. Because he's asked something of you that's too
• 1:53
  much. Or we're snapping at our kids again. Or we are rushing out the door wondering
• 2:01
  why there is never enough time to get anywhere. Or how about friend you're
• 2:07
  looking at your calendar thinking, why is nothing on here for me? I see stuff for
• 2:12
  my kids. I see stuff for my husband and for my friends or for the neighbor or
• 2:17
  for the dog. But nothing is on here for me. Well I don't think that that's random.
• 2:23
  I think it's just a signal. Like something is off. And resentment is a red
• 2:29
  flag. It shows up when your actions don't match your truth. So I want you to pay
• 2:35
  attention to that. Now here's your midweek heart check, okay? This is your
• 2:40
  reset. I want you to pause for a second and ask yourself these questions. Where
• 2:47
  am I already feeling resentment? And where do I have no margin? So this is
• 2:53
  just space, time in between activities. And what did I say yes to way too
• 3:00
  quickly? And what needs to shift before this week is over? And lastly, what do I
• 3:07
  need to put back in just for me? Okay that's it. We're just gonna notice what's
• 3:14
  off. Now usually this is where people stop. But I don't want you to just think
• 3:21
  about it. I want you to schedule it. Because we know what gets scheduled
• 3:28
  actually gets done. So my friend, if you can, open your calendar. And first I want
• 3:36
  you to create margin. So stop stacking everything back to back like we're
• 3:41
  robots. You know you're not getting all that done. Okay so I want you to give
• 3:46
  yourself at least 15 minutes in between these activities that we have scheduled.
• 3:52
  And then second, I want you to schedule something just for you. Okay something
• 3:59
  you can actually look forward to this week. Maybe it's a hobby. Maybe it's girl
• 4:05
  you got to get your nails done. Because they'd be looking terrible. Okay maybe
• 4:09
  you need to go get a haircut. Maybe it's kind of practical. It doesn't matter. But
• 4:14
  it's something just for you. Maybe you need a date with your girlfriends. Okay
• 4:18
  and you can't keep telling yourself, well as if I have time. Because girl you're
• 4:24
  never gonna have time. So put it on the calendar. And next I want you to protect
• 4:30
  it. Because not everything should get access to your time. And I want you to
• 4:37
  think about this. Your calendar is already showing you what your priorities
• 4:42
  are. We're just making sure that you are one of those priorities. Hey friend, I
• 4:49
