When you identify a struggle in work or life, creating healthy boundaries can be a powerful way to reduce stress, reclaim time, and regain a sense of control.

Boundary setting also helps you to step into your best, most creative self!

Here’s a step-by-step practical approach to creating those boundaries and improving your well-being.

Use the C.L.E.A.R. Boundary Planning Method!

This is a 5-step framework designed to help you set and sustain boundaries that protect your time, energy, and peace of mind — at work, at home, and in relationships.

E – Establish the Boundary

What clear, kind, actionable limit do you want to set?

A – Assert and Act on It
