Today, right here and now, I want you to pause and truly think about how you want to spend your summer.

Do you want to stop working each day at noon?

Take weekends off?

Or do you want to plan a week-long road trip or book a cottage?

If you yelled a resounding YES (even in your head), then allow yourself to make a plan and follow through!

If you scoffed at the thought of taking time off because of reason 1, 2 or 3, I’m here to tell you that you can have what you want.

Boundaries are not bad.

They are not about saying no.

They are not to be mean.

They should not make you feel guilty.

They are reasonable expectations communicated to those you interact and communicate with on a daily basis.

They are to find balance – by implementing boundaries, you create consistency, dependability and reliability.

Everyone accesses, uses and leverages time differently.

Why?

Because we prioritize things differently. We have different needs. Different schedules. Unique circumstances.

Which means, what works for one person, doesn’t always work for another.
