Personal Boundaries for Wellbeing

Personal boundaries are an essential aspect of maintaining a healthy relationship with yourself and others. They serve as a way to define what is acceptable behavior for you, helping to protect your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Without boundaries, we can easily feel overwhelmed, taken advantage of, or burnt out. The good news is that setting and upholding personal boundaries is something you can learn and practice. Boundaries can vary from person to person, and they may evolve over time as we grow and our needs change.  How to Set Personal Boundaries Know Your Limits The first step in setting personal boundaries is understanding your own needs and limits.

  Amidst the hustle of tax season, March also brings the bustle of spring. With   80% of Americans 1   planning to spend time spring cleaning this year, don’t forget that your finances could benefit from a refresh. Not only does this allow you to   check in on goals   and the progress you’re making, you can also save money for those rainy days.    Get in the right place at the right time  More daylight at this time of year can be a fun escape, though there’s no room to run when it comes to your bills. Penalties kick in when you miss or make a late payment, and credit card companies collected  more than $14 billion 2  in these fees in 2022.

The "Unhealthy" Fruit

-

We all know that a healthy diet consists of plenty of fruits and vegetables. You may not be aware, however, that choosing just any "fruit" may not be the best way to meet your fruit quota for the day. Below is a list of foods that you may want to limit or avoid: Fruity, sweet cereals. Fruity, colorful cereals that leave your milk pink, orange or blue are definitely void of nutrition. But what about the cereals that contain dried fruit? Sure, they may taste good, but most are also filled with added sugars and unneeded calories - even if they supposedly have real fruit flavors. Begin weaning yourself from the "fruity" cereals by chopping some real, fresh fruit into a bowl of healthy, non sugar-containing, cereal. Fruity Desserts. Strawberry ice cream. Raspberry cheesecake. Cherry Pie. Yum! We know they have fruit in the name, but it doesn't mean they're healthy for us. Opt for healthy fruit-based desserts such as fruit parfaits and fruit sorbet. If you mu...

A good night’s sleep doesn’t just happen—it’s influenced by how you spend your day. Incorporating certain activities into your daily routine can help you unwind, improve your sleep quality, and wake up feeling refreshed. 1.      Start with Sunlight : Exposure to natural light helps regulate your body’s internal clock, signaling when it’s time to wake up and when to wind down. Catch a little light whenever you can by eating lunch outside, taking a few deep breaths of fresh air before work, or going for a walk after. 2.      Stay Active : Physical activity improves sleep by reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise or more. Avoid intense workouts close to bedtime, as they can wake you up! 3.      Take Mental Breaks : Manage stress during the day by incorporating short activities to help you cope, like breaks, a laugh with a friend or deep breathing exercises. Stress management during ...
