Good morning,

One of the characteristics that I love about my clients and students is their capacity for compassion and their desire to help others.

And this makes a lot of sense.

If you are working on transforming your own life, you are a lot more likely to be aware of the pain and struggles of others and want them to experience transformation too.

But there can be a downside to being a helper.

The more you help, the more others recognize you can help. The more people recognize you can help, the more help they request. This can lead to the burden of taking responsibility for their own struggles shifting from them…to you.

I am sure that you have thought to yourself on more than one occasion (more likely on hundreds!), "I need to have better boundaries!"

And you are right!

You do need better boundaries and to stop putting yourself last. You need to stop accepting crumbs in your life when there is a banquet of richness waiting for you.

I'm not saying this to scold you, but instead that I understand.

It is tough wanting what is best for the people in your life AND taking care of yourself at the same.

It is difficult recognizing all the good things in your life AND feeling comfortable with wanting more.

Creating boundaries (especially new boundaries in old relationships) is hard, and doubly so for people with an empathic disposition. Because of the way empaths experience the world, the process of creating boundaries is challenging, and it is painful.

This week in the podcast I share why creating boundaries is hard work, especially for empaths. I also share a tapping process that will make creating boundaries easier, even in the face of emotional pain.

If you have ever thought (even just once) "I need better boundaries in my life" then this week's episode is for you.
