Setting personal boundaries is one of the most healthy and liberating practices that you can do for yourself.
Establishing boundaries allows you to be your true self and is also a form of self-care. Healthy emotional boundaries means that you value your own feelings and needs.
When you set boundaries, it allows you to let go of worrying about how others will feel and it helps you from overextending yourself and your energy.
I struggled with setting boundaries for a major portion of my life. It took me breaking down physically, emotionally and spiritually to actually see what I was allowing to affect my well-being.
Through my journey, I learned how to balance my ego and people-pleasing tendencies. I also learned how to take time to fill my own cup back up. I realized that I can show up more for those around me- if I took better care of myself.
Hindsight reflection can help you realize this too ….but how do you set boundaries?
