Let's talk about boundaries! Exciting, right? Okay, maybe not exciting, but likely familiar. Boundaries serve as limits, that set expectations for how you want to be treated. They allow you to maintain your individuality, values, and ultimately happiness. However, it can be hard to grasp what makes up healthy boundaries, which is that sweet spot between boundaries that are too rigid and boundaries that are too loose. Healthy boundaries are established and well asserted, they lay out what you need as an individual and can protect you from being mistreated by others. They also can help you resist the urge to over-commit and neglect caring for yourself. They're not rigid but allow space for vulnerability in safe spaces and with others who respect them. Let me know below what boundaries you think you have. __ #perseverance #perseverancepaysoff #lessonslearned #lifeobstacles #standupforyourself #showupforyou #showupforyourself #boundaries #boundariesarehealthy #boundariesarebeautiful #boundariesaregood #boundariesarenecessary #boundariesarefreedom #boundariesareselfcare #healthyboundaries #selfcare #personalboundaries #emotionalboundaries
