Mission Dorothy: The Podcast

In this part 3 episode, I am sharing with you 10 Ways to Set and Maintain Boundaries. By setting boundaries, you respect your own time, needs and wants. I also discuss how to recognize other people's boundaries. When you do not set boundaries you are sacrificing your happiness and you tend to enable others and not allow them to learn how to help themselves. Setting boundaries is a great way to separate your feelings from other people feelings while protecting you emotional, mental and physical well-being. Yes, boundary setting may not feel good if you're not use to being consistent with setting them, but they are surely necessary.

In this episode, I am giving 10 strategies you can use to start your journey toward healthy self awareness. As you embark on your journey to self discovery, it is highly important to have good self awareness. Self Awareness is one of the keys to living authentic. Having self-awareness means that you have knowledge of yourself. You understand your habits, likes, dislikes, the way you view the world, and your needs. You know what you want in life and have an understanding of your emotional responses. Socrates' famous quote “know thyself” is a directive to develop self-awareness. Having self-awareness doesn't solve your challenges in life, but it gives you an accurate starting point and allows you to develop a game plan for solutions.
