So for those rice eaters out there, rejoice! So how do I still end up fat? Since consuming fatty foods does not technically make you fat, we would think that carbohydrates are root cause of it right? Bottom line is you would get fat if you do not have a conscious calorie restriction. Well if you have kept a low intake of carbohydrates and high protein intake you may just end up losing weight as you have so desired it. According to dietary experts, for carbohydrates to make a person fat, a poor diet plan mix in with the lack of exercise is what it takes it to change a person’s weight. All that said, a person will only gain weight if he/she consume more calories than they could burn. Eat them at your own activity level and your sensitivity with the types of food. In simplest term don’t simply eat at will. Image from richardvancamp.org What carbohydrates should I eat? Now you must be asking yourself so how many carbohydrates should I eat then? Well carbohydrates sources can always be reserved for fruits and vegetables only. You could still opt for consuming other carbohydrate sources but you might be missing out on other nutritional benefits. But the key point is do not practice it in a long term basis and you will be doing fine. If you are gym elitist or a daily gym player, high carbohydrate intakes are the recommended source. People who regularly exercise, their body will be under the state of cyclical depletion and repletion of muscle glycogen stores.

Sample Content Preview Go for a Walk in the Forest If you have the opportunity to go for a walk in the woods, you should know that many studies show that walking in the woods has a positive effect on mood disorders. It not only reduces stress and anxiety but also reduces heart rate and systolic pressure. In short, effective anxiety treatment and very natural! Open a Window If you wake up feeling anxious, opening a window is your priority! Take the time to open a window as soon as you wake up (or better yet, go out into your garden) and breathe the fresh air, even in winter. Oxygen will help you dissipate your feeling of discomfort and make it easier to face the early morning. Bring in Nature Imagine a living environment where everything is “green, calm and pleasure,” a cocoon where you can relax and feel at peace. Your home is the place where you recharge your batteries and prepare to face the outside world. Don’t hesitate to have plants or a green wall that will remind you of nature. Step 3: Learn to Let Go Accept what you can’t change. It’s so important to let things go. To get rid of them, to be free of them. You have to close doors, not out of pride, or inability, but simply because the above no longer has a place in your life. A physical way to let go is to do a deep cleaning of your home, shake the dust off, and rid yourself of what is no longer serving you for the greater good. Stop being what you were and become what you are. Learning to manage your anxiety also means understanding that despite all your energy and good intentions. Know that you do not always control all the parameters of a situation. And that sometimes it is wiser to let go. That doesn’t mean you stop fighting and let go. First, it means that you accept that not everything depends on you. You know that some things are really beyond your intention. You don’t fight over a situation that you can’t do anything about. Sometimes it takes a journey to accept your failure. But acceptance is the first step that allows you to mobilize your energy, and to open the field of possibilities without bitterness. Step 4: Re-Invent Your Lifestyle When you think of your lifestyle, one of the first things to assess is your nutrition. Since the body’s natural defenses are weakened by anxiety and stress, it is crucial to adopt a healthy diet that fortifies your body and mind. A healthy and balanced diet is essential for optimal functioning of the body. To help boost your production of serotonin and endorphins, eat foods rich in magnesium. See in tryptophan, B-group vitamins, omega 3, and vitamin C. Also, remember to prepare meals that are synonymous with pleasure and comfort. Enjoying a pastry or a hearty meal from time to time won’t make you gain weight. It is systematically using food to calm anxiety, which can lead to weight gain or eating disorders. So, as is often the case, moderation is the key! However, no miracle food will make anxiety and depression disappear. Dietary measures must be implemented in addition to other anti-stress methods. But one thing is for sure, treating anxiety by eating properly is possible! How can you avoid putting on weight when you are anxious? Some people have their appetite cut off by stress and anxiety, while others find comfort in food. However, overindulging in fatty and sweet foods and eating large quantities has a significant drawback: weight gain. Besides, the cortisol produced during periods of prolonged stress and anxiety can alter the metabolism, causing it to build up reserves and “store” when you don’t eat more than usual. Here are some tips to avoid excess weight gain in times of stress: • Get more exercise, and it will help you lower your cortisol levels, healthily relieve stress, and boost your basal metabolic rate. • Establish a meal ritual that helps control food cravings. For example, prepare a nice plate and sit down at the table to eat or take a real balanced snack to work to avoid cracking on the chocolate bars in the vending machine. • According to research, lack of sleep leads to poor food choices. It is, therefore, essential to get back to a good quality of sleep to manage better your mood, your dietary balance, and your emotions. Step 5: Become Emotionally Aware The “natural” way to free yourself from emotion is to express it fully, by welcoming it and by letting this energy discharge pass through you without holding on to the feeling. But you can only express something that you can recognize. To succeed in being aware of our emotions, you will have to be mindful of what can prevent you from being connected to them. There are three techniques that we use more or less consciously so that we don’t have to experience feelings.

Why Video Marketing Is Important For Your Business….… 29 Sample Content Preview Chapter 3 The Video Marketing Platforms You Should Know It's no secret that every Marketer needs some form of a platform to extend their reach and get their message across. This is why a video marketer needs to know about the various platforms. You need to keep up with what's trending and utilize a platform that targets your audience, specifically if you want to dominate video marketing. YouTube Known as the 2nd most powerful search engine on the internet, YouTube is a phenomenal platform for a video marketer. With almost 5 billion videos watched on the daily and the use of YouTube advertisements, a marketer has a high chance of making it big. However, you have to work on the way you form titles, tags, and video descriptions. The key to free exposure is within optimization, as you can use keywords that might just increase your chances of getting your video promoted on the search panel, video suggestions, and the YouTube homepage. Just don’t forget that it requires interaction and engagement within the content if you want to attract the YouTube audience and dominate the video market. Facebook Facebook has been around for a long time, and it is one of the most used social media platforms, with over 8 billion users. It has evolved into a huge platform and has often been seen to be used by many businesses for marketing. The diversity in the Facebook world extends the maximization of getting content across. However, it works best for businesses that make their videos and brand outstanding with the color, themes, and images that you might post. You want to give a good impression so that viewers are more likely to view your videos. Marketers that produce good content with quality are more likely to get good views on Facebook, just be sure to leave a good caption to catch your audience's attention. Furthermore, tagging other people or valued customers can always extend your contents reach. If followed correctly, Facebook can be a good outlet for a video marketer. TikTok TikTok is one of the platforms on the tip of most people's tongues. Most importantly, it is seen as a platform with massive potential for marketing. With more than 800 million users, the platform also targets teens up to adults aged 30. So it has a very direct target audience. If your content is reflective of the audience's requirements on TikTok, you may very well thrive as a video marketer. Furthermore, you can work with other influencers and pay TikTok to advertise your content, which seems like an ideal platform for a video marketer. It may not be seen as a market yet, but the potential it holds to promote content is immense for a marketer. Snapchat When you have influencers like Gary Vee saying that Snapchat is the next big platform for marketing, it makes you think. With over 229 million users and users usually aged 13 to 35, it makes it easier for targeting a specific audience. Snapchat works in a way that your content fills the user's screen, so you can easily grip the attention of the user. Each video lasts 10 seconds; however, you can use stories that just limit you to 10-second scenes, meaning you can have continuous videos that last for 24 hours. This platform personalizes your work by showing a behind the scenes vibe. It helps keep your audience updated continuously, which leaves a good impression on your audience. Instagram Without a doubt, Instagram is very in with celebrities and other major businesses. It consists of 1 billion active users, and it's all about that visual aspect with a level of aesthetic and artistic creativity. Instagram can be a mixture of pictures and videos that last about 60 seconds. However, when it comes to marketing, you can further make use of hashtags and captions, which can categorize your videos and possibly upload your videos to the Instagram search page, which can increase your chances of your content being found. You are also granted the options of disappearing stories and IGTV, which allows you to have longer videos. So you can keep your audience up to date, and you can also tease them with other content or products which further entice them. This platform can be very useful for a marketer if used correctly with the help of keywords, quality content, and regular posting as it extends the reach of your video marketing. LinkedIn LinkedIn may not be well known as a social media platform, but it very much is a form of social media meant for interacting and engaging. The only difference is, it is mainly used for professionals and the business world to communicate and develop relationships. LinkedIn is a significant platform in the marketing world that can get you to interact with other businesses and influencers of which they can always share and help support you, once you establish a relationship. You can also target a specific audience and have more chances of communicating with potential clients and customers. Just remember to create 30-second videos with subtitles and topical hashtags. Always try to be engaging and make sure your viewers have a reason to stay. LinkedIn can help broaden a video marketer's world if they utilize it correctly, which will help increase their marketing horizon.

Sample Content Preview Internal Reality It’s not always easy, but when you face your emotional triggers, you bring it to light and immediately allow yourself to shine brighter than ever! It gives you the space to heal deep wounds and claim your personal power. Step 4: Heal Your Wounds Wounds from the past are significant barriers to claiming your powers. According to a French author named Lise Bourbeau, five wounds can limit us in our life if we don’t take the time to recognize and heal them. Those wounds are abandonment, rejection, injustice, humiliation, and betrayal. Let’s explore each one of those wounds and see if you related to some of them. Rejection Rejection is a profound wound because the one who suffers from it feels rejected in his being and especially in his right to exist. In terms of behavior, they often doubt their right to exist. They seek solitude because if they receive a lot of attention, they would be afraid of not knowing what to do. They don’t know what to do with themselves when they get too much attention. It is not unusual for them to live in ambivalence; when they are accepted, they won’t believe it and often create a self-sabotaging situation so that others reject them. Injustice People with the injustice wound are usually rigid and lack flexibility. Often a perfectionist and envious. These persons tend to cut themselves off from their feelings and often cross their arms. They try to be perfect and justifies themselves a lot. They find it difficult to admit that they have problems. They often doubt their choices. They like order and tend to control themselves by demanding a lot from each other. They can be angry and cold and has difficulty showing affection. It is often difficult for people with the injustice wound to accept compliments, help, or gifts from others because they feel in debt toward the person after. Humiliation People with the humiliation wound are often ashamed of themselves and others or afraid to shame others. They think they are dirty or unclean. They don’t want to recognize and assume their sensuality and their love of the pleasures associated with the senses. That is why they often compensate and reward themselves with food. And they gain weight quickly to give themselves a reason not to enjoy their senses. They are also afraid of being “punished” if they enjoy life too much. So, they ignore their freedom by putting the needs of others before their own, so that they stop enjoying life. Abandonment The wound experienced in the case of abandonment is the second deepest after that of rejection because they both affect the being at a profound level. Those who suffer from abandonment do not feel emotionally nourished enough. They need constant help and support. They think that they cannot do anything on their own and regularly needs someone to support them. They tend to dramatize a lot: the smallest little incident takes on gigantic proportions. In a group, they like to talk about themselves and often brings everything back to them. Besides, they usually seek the opinion or approval of others before making decisions. Betrayal (or Treason) The wound of betrayal is intimately related to the wound of abandonment. Very uncompromising, they want to show others what they are capable of. They often interrupt and respond before a person is finished. When things don’t go fast enough to their liking, they become angry. They hate not being trusted and do not always keep their commitments and promises or forces themselves to keep them. It is essential to know what your wounds are to identify your limits and what obstacles stop you from claiming your power. By being aware of your behaviors and wounds, you are getting to know yourself better and also understanding why you tend to behave in specific ways.

Sample Content Preview Being successful on TikTok is all about catching the attention of its user base. Having a good profile name which reflects your brand is a step in the right direction. In your profile you have the opportunity to tell TikTok users what your brand is all about so make sure that you grab this opportunity with both hands. You need to write a description that will attract users. A boring description will make them leave faster than anything else. Make your profile fun and appealing. Show users that you are part of the “cool kid” vibe and that you will provide them entertaining content. When you are setting up your profile make it a Pro account. This is free to do and the major benefit of this is that you will have access to TikTok analytics that will show you how well your profile and your individual posts are doing on the platform. Nobody is going to be impressed with a profile on TikTok that doesn’t have any followers. One of the best ways to gain a following is to start by following others. Spend time looking for videos on TikTok and if you enjoy them then follow the user. It is likely that there will be other TikTok users in your niche so start following them. Of the people that you follow, a percentage of them will follow you back. Try to find TikTok users that have a large following and follow them. When you do this be sure to add good comments on some of their video posts. This will help you to start a relationship with these people. They will appreciate your comments and will check out your profile and your videos for sure. You can use your relationships with those that have a large following by working with them to get the word out about your brand. There are different kinds of videos on TikTok and some are more popular than others. What all of the successful videos have in common is that they are fun and entertaining for the users. You won’t find any successful slide show and narration videos on this platform because that is just too boring for the audience. Music videos are very popular. TikTok acquired the Musical.ly platform which was all about posting lip-syncing videos for famous songs. So you will not be surprised that mini music videos and even music montage videos are really popular. A lot of the most popular videos on TikTok have a comedy element. Making people laugh is always in demand. There are some really creative comedy videos on the platform and they always get a good response. OK it is not that easy to make funny videos but if you put the effort in then you will be rewarded with a ton of hearts (likes) and a lot of followers. Think of a funny situation involving your brand and create a short video with suitable background music and you could have the next viral post on your hands. One of the great things about the TikTok platform is the amount of special effects that you can use in your videos. For example if you want to speed up a video or slow it down then you can easily do that. There are some great face filters available and other effects that can really make your videos stand out. You are not trying to create a Hollywood blockbuster here. Just learn about all of the effects and use them as often as possible. Another innovative feature of TikTok is the Duet feature. Here you can use another video and create a new video so that it stands “side by side”. The reaction video is popular on TikTok. This is where a person reacts to someone else’s video. With a side by side Duet you can really express your feelings and TikTok users love to watch this. The Duet feature was very popular on the Musical.ly platform and continues to be on TikTok. So work out how to use the Duet feature and use it in your marketing. TikTok users really enjoy a challenge. So you can provide them with a special challenge video. A challenge needs to be something that a user would want to participate in and have a degree of difficulty so that it really is a challenge. One of the best examples of this is the #tumbleweedchallenge posted by Jimmy Fallon from the Tonight Show. He asked TikTok users to drop to the floor and roll like a tumbleweed in a public place. This was so popular there were more than 8,000 videos created by users and the hashtag got more than 10 million engagements. With TikTok you can shoot a video “on the fly” and then post it immediately. Some of these work quite well but most of them don’t. We recommend that you plan the content that you will post on the platform. Even a 15 second video needs some thought before you create it and post it. When thinking about the content you will add to your TikTok account always focus on engagement. Once you start creating engaging videos that TikTok users really like then they will just want more and more from you.

Sample Content Preview Any money invested in cryptocurrencies should not dramatically affect your life. Never invest your last dollar in cryptocurrencies hoping that you will make a profit. We strongly advise that you don’t borrow money from banks or anywhere else to make investments either. You need to be patient to be successful with cryptocurrency investing. Although cryptocurrencies are volatile there are usually cycles that you can rely on to predict upswings and downswings. This is particularly true of Bitcoin. Waiting for the right time to buy and sell cryptocurrencies comes with experience. One of the ways that you can usually make a profit with Bitcoin investing is to use the dollar cost averaging method. With dollar cost averaging you will make regular purchases of Bitcoin say weekly or monthly. You do not have to worry about the prices being right – just buy at whatever the price is now. It is best to invest the same amount every time for this strategy to work. So for example if you can comfortably afford to invest $100 a week in Bitcoin then do this using the dollar cost averaging method. Some weeks you will get more Bitcoins for your money and other weeks you will get less. Over a period of time your profits should average out as well so that you will make a profit. If you just invest a lump sum in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency and the price goes down then don’t panic. Keep your investment going until the price rises above what you paid. If you make a withdrawal before this time then you will make a loss. You may have read stories of traders making profits every single day with cryptocurrencies. Some of these will be true but the reality is that cryptocurrency trading is difficult and requires a lot of experience. Every day newcomers to cryptocurrencies head to the trading platforms and lose a ton of money through the mistakes that they make. Often this is good news for experienced traders as cryptocurrency prices rise due to this activity and they make a profit on their previous trades. There is no reason why you shouldn’t get involved in cryptocurrency trading but learn and practice first before you invest real money. You need to learn everything you can about how cryptocurrency trading works and the cycles that specific cryptos such as Bitcoin go through. You can setup a demo account with most of the more reputable cryptocurrency exchanges. These demo accounts use real time prices so it is just like real trading. If you make mistakes in your demo account and lose money (not real money) then you can analyze them to see why you made the mistake to avoid it again in the future. Losing all of your money in a demo account is no big deal because it isn’t real. Just get another demo account and keep practicing. Jumping into a real account and losing hard cash is another story altogether! To be successful with cryptocurrency trading you need a plan. Just relying on luck will soon see you losing your money. Don’t just follow what everyone else seems to be doing. Do your own research and follow your own hunches. Create a trading plan for each cryptocurrency you want to trade. Set a low “buy” price and a high “sell” price that you will stick to. This will ensure that you can make the levels of profit that you want. You have to keep your emotions in check when you are trading cryptocurrencies. Trade on logic rather than emotion. A sudden fall in price for a crypto should not panic you into selling to minimize your losses. You need to predict when the next time the price will rise in line with your trading plan and then sell. To be successful with cryptocurrency investment you need to look at the total market cap size of the cryptocurrency you want to invest in. Don’t just look at the current price of the cryptocurrency as a way of determining its potential for growth. This is not the best way at all to determine the margin of process that the cryptocurrency has. You must take a look at two factors: 1. The total capitalization (or market cap) of the cryptocurrency – this is a simple matter of multiplying the total number of cryptocurrency tokens in circulation by the value of a single token. 2. What has been the increase in capitalization? How has the cryptocurrency grown since it was first launched? If there have been significant gains since the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) for example then this is usually a sign that it is less likely to progress going forward. If you notice that the value of a crypto has fallen significantly since the ICO then this could point towards it being a scam.

Your child’s school may be able to provide you with a curriculum you can follow. This might include worksheets, workbooks, or educational websites your child will need to use in order to complete specific tasks or assignments. If you’re lucky enough to have the school’s help, your main job will be to make sure everyone’s participating, everything’s getting done on time, and everyone understands the lessons. If your school isn’t all that involved, don’t panic. Yes, you’ll be making up your own lesson plans, but you’ll still have plenty of help. You want to base your plans around your child’s grade level, their skills and abilities, and on the work they were doing at school (if you can find that out). Run a Google search for your child’s grade level and your State’s Board of Education to find learning goals for each of their subjects. You’ll want to concentrate on “The Three R’s” (reading, writing, and arithmetic AKA language arts and math) of course, but remember not to neglect the other courses. Your child will benefit from a solid knowledge of science or history, as well as the creativity taught by the arts. There are plenty of online sources that can help as well. You can download entire textbooks, worksheets, workbooks, and lesson plans. You can also get involved in Facebook groups dedicated to home schooling, if you need help or feel you’d benefit from the encouragement from other parents who may be facing the same challenges. In addition, use Google to find language and math websites that offer online lessons or extra learning practice. Your local library can also be a lifesaver. Get to know your librarian and find out what kinds of resources they may offer! Talk to your child’s public school teachers and find out where they obtain the materials they use to teach with. There are plenty of good resources you can use in your classroom, and we’ll talk about some of them in this special report. Teachers can help you learn where to find these resources and which ones will actually work. One thing about lesson plans: make sure your objectives are something concrete that you can measure. For example, you want them to “be able to count to ten” instead of “be able to know addition,” to “recite a short poem” instead of “appreciate poetry.” Establish a Daily Routine You’re probably not going to be able to schedule a routine in the same way the public school did, however it’s important that you create some sort of structure that will make it easier on both you and your child. Establishing a routine will help your child know what to expect, it’ll help you plan out your day so you have the time you need for your own work or activities, and it will create a clear divide between personal time and school time (which will help your child stay focused!) It’s usually best to take care of your schedule first, then see where the homeschooling will fit into that. That way you’re focused and able to dedicate the time to helping your child with their school work, free from distraction. When you’re homeschooling, it’s important that you and your kids follow a bedtime and wake-up routine as well. They should try to wake up at the same time every day and change into “work clothes” instead of lounging around in their pajamas. That way your child is retaining a similar schedule and routine that they did when they were attending school. You, too, should lead by example, being dressed and ready in time for classes. Create a daily routine that everyone follows. You won’t have the traditional 8:00 to 3:00 schedule (with recess between classes!) but you should have some sort of set routine. School begins and ends on time, and you’ll be working during that time, not playing with cellphones or listening to the TV in the other room. Your child will only be as invested as you are! Remember, younger kids and teens need at least 10 hours of sleep in order to perform at their best. And sadly, most kids (and their parents!) are chronically sleep-deprived, which makes a big difference in their ability to learn. So, try to get them to bed at a decent hour so they can get that much-needed rest. Having a set daily routine benefits everyone in the family. Your kids will get used to being “in school” at a certain time and will therefore be far more focused and ready to learn. You will also have the ability to plan your day more effectively and utilizing your time the best way possible. In addition, it’s a lot easier to work diligently based on a set schedule or daily plan, than just to “wing it”.

And making money online will never be easier once you’ve built that community of your own. Plus, people are already searching for printables on Etsy! This means that you’ll be able to instantly tap into an evergrowing customer base that are active on the marketplace. So even if you don’t launch your own marketing campaigns, chances are you’ll be able to start generating sales from Etsy’s existing traffic. Easy! And finally, there are valuable tools that make it easy to create Etsy listings that stand out from the crowd. I’m talking about resources like https://www.MarmaLead.com that not only break down your existing Etsy listings to show you how to improve your outreach, but they grade your listings based on focus keywords, exposure and more! When it comes to creating an Etsy shop, you’ll want to carefully choose a shop name, and customize your storefront so it clearly represents your brand. This includes a high-quality shop banner, memorable logo and shop description/tagline, and of course, in-demand printable products. Let’s get started: Step 1: Create your Etsy Account: Head on over to https://Etsy.com and create your account. Make sure to fill in all the profile and account areas, including your payment information, address and add a credit card to your account so that Etsy can charge you for each listing whenever it needs to be renewed. You will also want to set your shop preferences including shop language, country and currency. Next, make sure to set your shop name so it’s the exact same name as your blog (if you plan to create one, and I recommend you do!). The key is to be consistent across all platforms. Your shop name can be between 4-20 characters and shouldn’t contain any spaces or special characters. Whatever shop name you assign will also become your Etsy web address and will look something like this: keyword.etsy.com Step 2: Add Your First Product The next step will be to stock your shop with at least one printable product. Note that you can’t create an Etsy shop without having at least one available product, so if you have yet to create your first printable offer, you’ll want to do that first and then return to your Etsy account to complete the process. Each product listing can include up to 10 images and you’ll want to use every available space. However, you don’t need to have all 10-graphics ready. When adding your first product listing, you can always start by just adding one image and then go back in and add additional images later. Step 3: Complete Your Payment Settings Set your payment preferences, including how you wish to be paid (Paypal, check or money order, etc.) Then, set up billing. You’ll need to add a credit card to your account. Step 4: Create your Brand Graphics Now that you have a brand-new Etsy account, it’s time to customize your shop! The important thing is to make sure all your images look alike while highlighting the different products. You want to build a cohesive, memorable brand. If you look at the top printable sellers on Etsy, we all use a set color scheme and they stick to it. Not only does it look more professional, but it helps people begin to recognize your brand so when they see your pins or visit your blog, they know who you are and what you have to offer. Creating your shop graphics doesn’t have to be difficult or time consuming. My personal “trick” is to create one set of templates using a resource like https://www.Canva.com and then re-use them over and over again, simply replacing the product snapshots with ones that represent the current product offered. Note: It’s always best to create printables based on evergreen, time-tested markets, and then figure out a way to put your own unique twist on each product. That way, you’re offering something fresh and new, while still sticking within those popular, established niches that are continuing to grow.

Boundaries are self-care One of the most important aspects of self-care is valuing and respecting your own needs and feelings. Creating boundaries means that you put your needs and emotions above the needs and emotions of someone else healthily and respectfully. As a result, you focus on your needs instead of worrying about what someone else wants from you. This acts as a form of self-care because it allows you to cherish yourself by doing what you need and want. 3. Boundaries set realistic expectations with clear directions Whenever you set a boundary, you and the other party involved become explicitly aware of what is expected of each other. As a result, the relationship’s expectations become realistic and come with clear directions. Normally, people behave correctly when they know what is expected of them. So, setting boundaries and providing clear directions creates realistic expectations that all parties can respect. 4. Boundaries protect you emotionally and physically One of the most important reasons that you should set boundaries is that they protect you emotionally and physically. The reason for this is that boundaries tell you how you should be treated. If someone repeatedly breaks your boundaries, whether they be emotional or physical, you immediately know that that person does not care about you and your feelings. As a result, you become keenly aware of who you should let into your life and who you should avoid. This allows you to protect yourself from uncomfortable or hurtful situations. Types of Boundaries Whenever you are starting to set your own boundaries, it is important to keep in mind the six general areas where boundaries apply. These different areas interact with different parts of your life and wellbeing. Here are the 6 types of boundaries: Material Boundaries material boundaries relate to physical objects such as money, clothes, books, a hairbrush, or anything else that is a physical object that you own. Material boundaries are expectations of how you and the other party should act whenever material objects are borrowed, sold, or jointly shared. It is important to set material boundaries so that friendships and relationships are not ruined over material objects. Physical Boundaries Physical boundaries relate to your personal space, privacy, and body. They set rules for how you and another party should interact on a physical relationship. These physical boundaries can range from appropriate settings to give a handshake versus a hug, when you expect a borrowed item to be returned, or how loud your roommate plays their music. Physical boundaries are different from sexual boundaries, which will be discussed later. Mental Boundaries Mental boundaries relate to your thoughts, values, and opinions. In other words, they relate to what you believe and think. Mental boundaries can relate to how gullible you are, what you believe, and listening to other people's opinions. Often, mental boundaries are boundaries with yourself in that they determine how you let other people affect your thoughts and beliefs. For example, they are what help you not get too angry when someone disagrees with you. Emotional Boundaries Emotional boundaries relate to your feelings and emotions; they separate your feelings and emotions from someone else’s feelings and emotions. Having good emotional boundaries allow you to not only feel your own emotions, but they also allow you to take responsibility for your emotions. Like mental boundaries, emotional boundaries are often boundaries with yourself because they require you to know your emotions and take responsibility for them. Sexual Boundaries Sexual boundaries have to do with your comfort level relating to sexual touch and activity. They can help you to determine what, where, when, and with whom you are comfortable having sexual interactions. Sexual boundaries should always be implemented and respected in sexual or flirtatious settings. Spiritual Boundaries Spiritual boundaries relate to your belief and experiences with God or some other higher power. These boundaries often only relate to yourself and the higher power, but they can also relate to how you interact with people who have different spiritual ideas than you. Why Setting Boundaries Can Be Difficult Though setting boundaries are necessary for your health and wellbeing in relation to other people, they can be extremely difficult to set and implement. People with codependent tendencies especially find setting boundaries difficult. Here’s why: 1. Boundaries require you to put yourself first When you set boundaries, you put your needs and wants above another party’s needs and wants. This can be difficult if you are a people-pleaser or are desperate for love because it may cause the other person to become angry or irritated with you. 2. Boundaries require you to know yourself Another thing that makes setting boundaries so difficult is that they require a keen knowledge of yourself. You must know what you like and what you expect from yourself and others. If your perception of yourself is clouded or unclear, it will be extremely difficult to set and implement effective boundaries that reflect your needs and wants. 3. Boundaries require you to feel like you have rights Setting boundaries means that you feel that you have the right to be treated a certain way. For people who are insecure or want a certain relationship, feeling that you have the right to be treated a certain way does not come naturally. As a result, setting boundaries can be difficult because you feel as though you are not entitled to the treatment that you want and need. 4. Fear that boundaries jeopardize the relationship Many people feel as though setting boundaries will destroy relationships. As a result, enforcing boundaries will be difficult out of fear of losing someone that you love or admire. Of course, it is important to remember that losing someone who refuses to respect your boundaries is not a loss. 5. Boundaries take practice Just like anything else, setting boundaries requires practice. If you have never set boundaries before, setting them for the first time can be very difficult, but it gets easier with time. Boundaries are imaginary lines that separate your needs from someone else’s needs. There are many types of boundaries, and each one of them is indicative of having healthy and happy relationships with those around you. Though boundaries can be difficult to set and enforce, it is important to do the hard work so that you have a healthier relationship with yourself and others.
