WHAT ARE BOUNDARIES?

TYPES OF BOUNDARIES

Now that we know what boundaries are let's look at the different types of boundaries.

RIGID BOUNDARIES

These boundaries involve strict rules and expectations that are inflexible. They can be useful if you want to stay away from certain people or situations, but they can also be harmful if they are too strict.

WEAK BOUNDARIES

This type of boundary doesn't provide much protection and usually gives others access to our time, energy, and resources. It can lead to codependency or feeling overwhelmed.

HEALTHY BOUNDARIES

The most effective boundaries are healthy ones. These are flexible, allowing for some give and take but still protecting your needs and values. They create a healthy balance between your needs and the needs of others.

It's important to remember that boundaries are not meant to be used as weapons. They should be used in a respectful way as a way of expressing your needs and creating healthy relationships.

TIPS FOR SETTING BOUNDARIES?

Setting boundaries can help protect your physical, emotional, and mental health. Here are some tips to help you set healthy boundaries:

1. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AND NEED: 

Before setting boundaries, take some time to think about what your needs and values are. Knowing what you want and need will make setting boundaries that fit your unique situation easier.

2. BE CLEAR AND DIRECT: 

When communicating your boundaries, be clear and direct. This will help prevent any misunderstandings or confusion.

3. RESPECT OTHERS’ BOUNDARIES: 

Respect the boundaries of others as much as you would like them to respect yours.

4. FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR BOUNDARIES: 

If you set a boundary, follow through with it. This will help ensure that your boundaries are taken seriously and respected by the other person.

5. BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE: 

Even when enforcing boundaries, it's important to remember to be kind and compassionate. This will help keep the relationship healthy and respectful.

Setting boundaries can help create healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Taking the time to get clear about your needs and values and communicating them in a respectful way can help create more positive, productive relationships.

Remember, boundaries are important for protecting your physical, emotional, and mental health. Take the time to set boundaries that work best for you and your relationships.
