23 Boundary Scripts to Take Back Your Life So Your Holidays Can Go Your Way

Issue 101. November 28, 2024 ✨ Higher Power Coaching & Consulting ✨

If Thanksgiving didn’t go the way that you wanted it to this year because you ended up doing things you didn’t really want to do. Perhaps you…

• stayed places you didn’t really want to stay or stayed longer than you really wanted to
• spent time with people  you didn’t want to in the first place 
• ate things you didn’t want to eat 
• had conversations you didn’t want to have
• hugged and kissed people you really didn’t want to hug and kiss 

The rest of the holiday season doesn’t have to go that way. In fact, your life doesn’t have to go that way.

You can learn how to set limits with yourself and others, it doesn’t matter how old you are or how long-standing your relationships are!

You can have healthy, balanced relationships where you’re not doing things you don’t want to or taking on too much, you’re not allowing others to walk all over you, and you’re not riddled with guilt and shame at the idea of hurting other people’s feelings.

This is possible (I am living proof !). 

Before I learned how to build healthy boundaries, I didn’t realize that I did not have to put up with the onslaught of chaos and drama from those around me. It just wasn’t an option for me to not put up with that stuff.

I eventually learned that *I* get to determine how I spend my time, who I spend it with, and how much time I spend with them. 

I’m now able to enjoy my holidays in a way that feels peaceful and easy to me. I have joy instead of dread, chaos, and drama. One of the things that was most difficult for me to learn was exactly what to say when setting boundaries. You’re in luck! Below are some of the things I’ve learned to say when setting boundaries.

Here are 23 Boundary Scripts to Take Back Your Life.

The thing is, knowing just what to say is only the starting point. You have to believe you deserve to set boundaries, you have to be grounded in what matters to you and stop focusing on what other people are feeling. Instead, focus internally on what you’re feeling, thinking, and doing.

That can be extremely difficult after decades of behaving in the opposite way. But it’s possible to change, especially when you get coached by an expert who has done all this herself and coached scores of others who have had amazing transformations!
