HOW DO I SET HEALTHY BOUNDARIES?

Setting healthy boundaries involves clear communication and self-awareness. Here are some steps to help you establish them:


Self-awareness: Understand your needs, values, and limits. Reflect on what makes you feel comfortable and uncomfortable.


Communicate: Express your bou


ndaries calmly and assertively. Use "I" statements to explain your feelings and needs.


Be consistent: Maintain your boundaries consistently to establish trust and predictability.


Prioritize self-care: Ensure you take care of your physical and emotional well-being.


Learn to say no: Don't be afraid to decline requests or situations that violate your boundaries.


Respect others' boundaries: Just as you set your boundaries, acknowledge and respect those of others.


Adjust when necessary: As circumstances change, be flexible and adjust your boundaries as needed.


Seek support: Talk to friends, family, or a therapist for guidance and support in boundary setting.


I need you to know that people will not like you much because of your set boundaries. They will call you all sort of names, but remember that the boundaries you set will determine how the world around you treat you. 


Also know that setting and maintaining healthy boundaries is an ongoing process that helps foster healthier relationships and greater well-being.

Have an amazing week. 😘

Waiting is painful. The pain is excruciating. Waiting makes you look stupid as though na only you waka come. But, keep feeding your faith during the painful season of waiting! Romans 10:17. Something I've learnt; seasons of waiting are not seasons of inactivity. A lot is going on! GOD is working; orchestrating events. Happy New Month. 😇

WORD FOR THE DAY

If someone talks rudely to a person, it is important to remain calm and not react with hostility. Instead, it is helpful to try to understand why the person is behaving that way and address the situation calmly and respectfully.  If the behavior continues to be disrespectful or abusive, it may be necessary to set boundaries or seek help from a trusted authority figure or support system.

GUARD YOUR HEART AND SPACE!

The enemy has one goal; for you to change the way you're talking. The tongue is a creative force!  A few years ago, I literally was magneting good things, especially people of like minds, money, material things. Everyday favour was my lifestyle. I had a stubborn faith, it annoyed a lot of people, because they felt I was not being realistic, yet everyday brought even better favours. I got a job I didn't apply for;  a very good one!  B ut you see, when your faith is not being sharpened, even though you think you're standing, you'll wake up one day and realise you've hit the rock bottom! Guard your heart and space with all diligence! No matter who the person is, if they are not speaking your faith language, do not make room for them to feel comfortable with their faithless opinions and ideologies. If the church you attend doesn't stir your faith or belief, LEAVE!  Protect your faith journey by living daily on GODS' word and NEVER budge! THE WORD OF GOD WORKS! #
