Let's talk about ~boundaries~. Buckle up for a crash course in 3...2...1...🟢 💎Who? *We* set our boundaries and we respect other people's boundaries. No, we don't have control over how they'll respond when we set ours, but we do have control over 1) setting them and 2) enforcing them. 💎What? Boundaries are the limits, rules, or guidelines we set to enforce healthy relationships and ensure emotional well being. 💎When? We can set them at any time, anywhere, with anyone or anything. Yes, our boundaries can change over time. 💎Where? We can set boundaries in person, on the phone, or email. We can set them with friends, family, coworkers, neighbors about various things such as topics, engagement, treatment, etc. 💎Why? We can set boundaries to protect our emotional, mental, or sometimes physical well being. Setting boundaries can help us feel less drained, resentful, and in control of our energy. === While one of these kinds of boundaries is called "healthy," that doesn't necessarily mean the other two are always "unhealthy." We'll get into this more, but essentially: Collapsed boundaries can become unhealthy when the lack of boundaries leads to codependency. Rigid boundaries can become unhealthy when the lack of emotional connection leads to hyper independence. === Was this helpful?
