Set boundaries to protect your time and energy from "summary" of A New Way for Mothers by Louise Webster
As mothers, we often find ourselves pulled in different directions, trying to meet the needs of our families, work, and personal lives. It can be overwhelming, leaving us feeling drained and depleted. One way to combat this and ensure we have the time and energy to do what truly matters is by setting boundaries. Boundaries are like invisible lines that we draw around ourselves to protect our time and energy. They allow us to prioritize what is most important to us and say no to things that do not align with our values or goals. By setting boundaries, we are able to create space for ourselves to rest, recharge, and focus on what brings us joy and fulfillment.
Setting boundaries can look different for everyone. It could mean establishing a daily routine that includes time for self-care activities, such as exercise or meditation. It could also involve learning to say no to social commitments that do not serve us or setting limits on the amount of work we take on. By clearly defining our boundaries and communicating them to others, we can create a sense of balance and harmony in our lives.
However, setting boundaries can be challenging, especially for mothers who are used to putting others' needs ahead of their own. It may require us to confront our fears of disappointing others or feeling guilty for prioritizing ourselves. But by recognizing that setting boundaries is an act of self-love and self-preservation, we can begin to make choices that honor our time and energy.
In the end, setting boundaries is a powerful tool for mothers to reclaim control over their lives and ensure they are able to show up as their best selves for their families, work, and personal pursuits. By creating space for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation, we can cultivate a sense of well-being and fulfillment that benefits not only ourselves but those around us as well.
