Moments For Me - Edition 13 - Practising Gentle Boundaries

MOMENTS FOR ME

Edition 13/2024

Hey lovely,

Welcome back to Moments For Me. This week, we’re focusing on setting gentle boundaries—honouring your needs without guilt. This ties in with last week's newsletter on self-compassion.

Moment #1: Self-Compassion 💛

Set a boundary today that feels kind to you. It could be as simple as taking a few minutes of alone time or saying “no” to something that drains you. Setting boundaries reminds your mind and body that your needs matter too, which strengthens self-compassion over time.

Moment #2: Authentic Living 🌱

Choose one small action that aligns with your values today, even if it feels challenging. Authentic boundaries are about listening to what truly feels right for you, helping you feel more grounded in your choices.

Moment #3: Simple, Loving Act 🕯️

Take a few minutes to reflect on a boundary you’re proud of setting, whether recent or past. This helps reinforce your commitment to self-kindness and shows you the positive impact of protecting your space.

Thank you for joining me in setting gentle boundaries. Every step towards protecting your well-being is a win. Until next time, keep being kind to you.

Emma 💞

MOMENTS FOR ME Edition 11/2024 Hello, and welcome to this week's Moments For Me! I’m so glad you’re here. As I hinted in a recent newsletter, I’ve been reflecting on my priorities and taking small steps to build more security and ease into my days. One of my top priorities is to feel less stress and more freedom to enjoy the things I love outside of work. Over the years, I’ve had some daily rituals I’ve practised on and off, and lately, I’ve been inspired to bring these back into my life....
