Setting boundaries

Do we need to set boundaries for ourselves?

What happens to our health when we don’t listen to ourselves and set boundaries?

Many of us have problems setting boundaries.

What will people think of you if you say no to a task at work or to a party or something else you’re expected to do?

Having the courage to stand up for yourself can be tough, as well as daring to make decisions not always favored by others.

But you gain so much from having the courage to listen to yourself and prioritizing that which is most important to you right now.

What can we do to learn how to set good boundaries for ourselves?

If you start feeling inadequate then it might be time to look at your situation.

What expectations do others have of me as a person and how do I feel about it?

Expectations can sometimes be unspoken, for example in a workplace, and we don’t know what the requirements are.

It’s then that it’s important to create a good environment for communication.

Is it a situation where you get to grow and evolve or is it a situation where someone’s in charge and everyone else has to adjust accordingly.

To set up boundaries means you listen to what you feel in that moment and dare to say no, depending on how you feel right now.

It also means daring to put a name on and question subtle signals and figure out if it really is how it seems.

Only then can you really make a decision if you want to or can manage it right now.

Enjoy life!
