Most people think they know how to set boundaries, but boundaries is more than just saying No.
Setting boundaries is an inside job. Here are 5 crucial steps to start establishing strong and respectful boundaries:
1️⃣ Identify Your Needs: Understand what you need emotionally, physically, and mentally from your relationships and environment. Knowing your needs is the first step to protecting them.
2️⃣ Accept Yourself: Don’t change your boundaries for someone else so you can be accepted. You have the right to make requests that align with your values and needs.
3️⃣ Honor Your emotions: Recognize that your feelings are valid indicators of what’s working and what’s not in your life. Accepting your emotions helps you understand when and where boundaries are needed.
4️⃣ Have Clear Requests: Communicate your boundaries clearly and confidently. Tell people exactly what you expect and how they can respect your space.
5️⃣ Don’t Sway: Respect your own boundaries and others will respect them. Stay firm and consistent so you can feel confident in your relationships.
Setting boundaries isn’t just about saying no; it’s about creating a space where you can say yes to what truly matters.
