Setting boundaries is not always easy, but it is an important skill to have to maintain healthy relationships.
Here are some simple, practical tips to help you set and maintain your boundaries:
1. Be clear with yourself first.
Know your limits, what you’re comfortable with and what you’re not. When you’re clear with yourself, it’s easier to communicate it to others.
2. Communicate openly and assertively.
Express your boundaries directly. It might feel uncomfortable at first, but clarity prevents misunderstandings and resentment.
3. Enforce your boundaries.
It’s okay to say no or walk away from situations that don’t feel right. Putting your well-being first is not selfish it’s necessary.
4. Be consistent.
Mixed signals confuse people. The more consistent you are, the more others will respect your limits.
5. Stay flexible.
Boundaries can evolve. As you grow, your needs may shift, and adjusting your boundaries is part of healthy self-respect.
6. Seek support if needed.
If you’re struggling with boundaries or facing unhealthy dynamics, consider reaching out to a therapist or professional for guidance.
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.
