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. 😘
