Setting boundaries is not always easy, but it is an important skill to have to maintain healthy relationships. Here are a few tips on how to set boundaries:
-Be clear about what you want and don't want. This means being clear with yourself first and foremost. Know your limits and stick to them.
-Communicate your boundaries to others. This can be difficult, but it is important to be assertive and let others know what you are and are not comfortable with.
-Be prepared to enforce your boundaries. This may mean saying 'no' or walking away from a situation that makes you uncomfortable. It is okay to put your own wellbeing first.
-Be consistent. It is important to be consistent in setting and enforcing your boundaries. This means that you need to be clear about your limits from the beginning and stick to them.
-Be flexible. While it is important to be consistent, it is also important to be flexible. This means being willing to adjust your boundaries as needed. As you grow and change, your boundaries may need to change as well. That's okay!
-Seek professional help if you're having trouble in establishing boundaries or if you find yourself in an abusive or unhealthy situation, reach out for help from a therapist or other professionals.
Establishing boundaries doesn't mean you want to end a connection/friendship/relationship, in fact it's quite the opposite, it means you want a healthier connection that lasts longer.
Being a people-pleaser, makes establishing boundaries a tough mission, which I'm slowly integrating into my life.
How people in your life respect your boundaries, says a lot about how much they appreciate your presence.
