1. Boundaries are where you end and someone else begins – this includes physically, mentally and emotionally.
2. When there is a lack of boundaries, lines can get crossed very easily because a lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect and also invites others to take your power.
3. Setting the expectation of how you want and should be treated (what is acceptable or not) results in a more empowered self as well as healthier relationships with others.
4. When someone crosses this boundary you need to communicate this to them, otherwise your boundary doesn’t have meaning (like one country invading another).
5. Affirming what your boundaries are will help empower you. It’s about self-care and knowing your worth – and letting OTHERS know and respect your worth.
TRY THIS: Write down what your acceptable physical, mental and emotional boundaries are. Post it somewhere you can see it to remind yourself, especially when you tend to allow people to cross those thresholds.
POST IT NOTE: I will honor my boundaries
