Holiday Boundaries 101: Know Your Order
Thanksgiving is right around the corner! While we love gathering, the holiday season can quickly become exhausting if we don't protect our peace. Setting boundaries isn't mean; it's necessary for managing your energy and reducing resentment. This is where knowing your core priorities comes in. Use this simple boundary framework to decide where your time and energy should go: 1. He: Your spiritual health and connection (God). 2. Me: Your personal rest and self-care. 3. We: Your marriage (You and your spouse). 4. Us: Your immediate family/kids (You, spouse, and children). 5. Them: Everyone else (Extended family, work, extra parties, etc.). When your He, Me, We, and Us needs are met, you have more quality energy for Them. If prioritizing your "We" means saying no to an extra obligation, that's okay! Application Question: What is one "Them" obligation are you going to intentionally say "no" or "not this year" to, in order to protect your "Me" or "We" time this holiday season?
