When setting boundaries, it is crucial to be transparent and honest about what you need. For example, inform others that you need some time for self-care and may not always be available. Schedule your self-care time and block it out on your calendar to help everyone respect that time, just like any other important commitment. Don’t forget to practice saying no to things that don’t fit into your self-care routine. Take a moment to check in with yourself regularly to see if your boundaries are working and if your self-care needs are being met. And make adjustments along the way.

Model boundaries: Demonstrate healthy limits in your own practice to set an example. Prioritize self-care: Schedule downtime to recharge, just as you encourage your client to do. Delegate tasks: Outsource non-essential work to create more personal time. Reflect regularly: Assess if your boundaries are being respected and adjust as needed. Meeting your needs ensures you coach effectively while staying energized and balanced.
