Quotes:

"Differentiation deals with working on one's own self, with controlling self, with becoming a more responsible person, and permitting others to be themselves."

- Murray Bowen

"The real problem is that the partners in a difficult relations are 'no-selfs.' Too much of each self has been absorbed into the relationship." - Roberta M. Gilbert

TIPS:

1. Get to know yourself: Take a minute to figure out what makes you tick. Why do you get annoyed when your partner leaves dishes in the sink? Understanding your own quirks can help you chill out in tricky situations.
2. Keep it one-on-one: When you're mad at your partner, don't run to your mom or bestie to vent. Try to work it out with your partner directly. It's tempting to get others on your side, but it usually makes things messier.
3. Spot the family reruns: Notice if your family has a "greatest hits" of arguments or behaviors. Maybe everyone clams up when things get tense, just like grandma used to do. Spotting these patterns is the first step to changing them.
4. Be your own emotional DJ: Learn to turn down your own stress levels without relying on others to calm you down. It's like being able to soothe yourself instead of always needing a hug from mom.
5. Give people space to be themselves: Remember that your partner or kids aren't extensions of you. Let them have their own thoughts and feelings, even if you don't agree. Focus on managing your own reactions instead of trying to control theirs.

Today we’ll be learning about the critical role of boundaries in managing holiday stress and improving family dynamics. We explore the nature of boundaries, provide strategies for clear communication, and give easy tips for setting and maintaining limits during family gatherings. Gain the tools to create a more balanced and enjoyable holiday experience, leading to reduced overwhelm and improved personal well-being.

Enjoy!

-Kendra

A boundary is a limit or rule you set for yourself in relationships. It defines what behavior you will or won't accept from others, and how you'll respond. Boundaries are not:

• Threats or ultimatums
• Ways to control others
• Punishments

Boundaries differ from consequences in that:

• Boundaries are rules you set for yourself
• Consequences are actions you take when boundaries are crossed

Reflect on past family holiday experiences. List 3-5 situations that caused you stress or discomfort:

For each situation, write a clear, simple boundary statement using "I" language:

1. I will...
2. I won't...
3. I need...
4. I don't want...
5. It's not okay for...

Practice expressing your boundaries calmly and directly. Write how you'll communicate each:

For each boundary, decide on a consequence if it's not respected:

1. If [boundary] is crossed, I will...
2. If [boundary] is crossed, I will...
3. If [boundary] is crossed, I will...
4. If [boundary] is crossed, I will...
5. If [boundary] is crossed, I will...

List 3 self-care activities you can do during family gatherings to maintain your boundaries:

Write 3 positive affirmations to remind yourself of the importance of your boundaries:

1. I have the right to...
2. My needs are important because...
3. Setting boundaries helps me...

Remember, setting and maintaining boundaries is a skill that takes practice. Be patient with yourself as you implement these changes
