MICROCOSM PUBLISHING | BOUNDARIES CONVERSATIONS DECK

For everyone that’s tried to get into a new self-care routine but ended up dropping it like a bad habit, we hear you. Summer is mostly synonymous with full calendars and endless parties, making time for yourself seem like an impossible thing to do. But carving out some me-time during this hectic season can make a world of difference. It’s the soul’s tropical holiday — an opportunity to take a step back and practice self-compassion by reminding yourself that your needs are important, too!

We are firm believers that happiness is a consistent practice & self-care is paramount to a balanced life. This month’s Happiness Boosting Activity, the Boundaries Conversation Deck: What Would You Do?, includes 52 cards that will prompt reflection and conversation about your and others’ boundaries, needs, consent, and relationships. Think and ask yourself — what are your deal breakers? What are your values, needs, and desires? What is your personal definition of consent? What would you do if someone stole your place in line? What if a friend says you’ve hurt them? There are no right or wrong answers, only your answers. This deck will help you reflect on your past as you create strategies for recognizing your triggers, relating your boundaries to others, and communicating ideas more effectively in the future.
