Episode 10 with Pat Lencioni - Boundaries Around What Matters Most
What matters most to you? This is often the first place to start when we begin creating boundaries in our lives.
In this episode of Dr. Henry Cloud’s podcast, Pat Lencioni shares with us his story of creating a boundary around prioritizing his family. He’s discovered that it all starts with his family, and that if work, or other relationships begin to take precedent, he suffers. Ironically, he’s found that by keeping his time with his family sacred he’s more efficient at work, has higher productivity, and has better secondary relationships. It’s not a boundary around time, but a boundary around emotion and this helps to make it easier to maintain. He can feel when the boundary is being encroached, and it’s more intuitive. Boundaries do us no good if they’re not maintained. This might be the ticket for you or someone you know to make a maintainable boundary in your life. If you make a boundary with a certain emotion you’ll always be able to feel when it’s in need of attention.
