Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome š¤
I have come to realize that we must learn to set healthy boundaries not just with casual people around us but also with our friends and loved ones.
I must say that setting healthy boundaries is very crucial for us in order to maintain our emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
Setting healthy boundaries has really helped me to define my limits, prioritize my needs, and protect my time and energy from wasters.
Something personal happened between a close acquaintance and me; while she was not happy with the way I acted towards the whole issue, I, on the other hand, was proud of myself.
I understand that setting boundaries can be very challenging, mostly for those who struggle with people-pleasing, wanting people to accept them, or the fear of rejection.
However, there are several reasons why it is very important for us to set boundaries
I cannot overemphasize how setting boundaries helps one to manage stress and anxiety. You are not under any pressure to be or do what is beyond your boundaries. I have come across people who got burned out because they were trying to please other people.
Setting healthy boundaries also helps you manage your time and energy well. This has helped me focus on things that are priorities to me. This also helps you manage your relationship by establishing mutual respect.
And the most important for me is how setting boundaries helps in developing a sense of self-worth.
Here are a few tips that have helped me to maintain healthy boundaries.
Prioritize Yourself: prioritize Taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental needs
Be intentional about setting boundaries: this helps you very early in any kind of relationship or situation to avoid unnecessary conflicts and maintain healthy relationships.
Respect Other people's Boundaries: If you want people to recognize and respect your boundaries, then you have to do the same with others.
THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END š¤
