Being picky is not selfish. Practicing pickiness can be quite helpful…and smart. But how can you be picky in a way that serves you best?

Just the mere topic of boundaries can be overwhelming – when to recognize the need for them, what type or style of boundary to have, how to set them, how to stick to them and of course, how to deal with people who unfortunately do not respect those boundaries.

The art of asking is not easy. Asking often takes a shift in mindset and starts with awareness…and that takes practice! Knowing what is holding you back is key to understanding how to move forward. Flipping the perspective on your barriers and questioning their existence can be a powerful way to debunk those limiting beliefs!

Your approach is just as important as your mindset. Break through the challenges with a quick shift in perspective. What might change for you when you stop trying and start committing?
