LOVE YOURSELF THROUGH BOUNDARIES

Written By: Gloria from Amani Upendo Wellness

Setting standards is an important tool for self-care or personal growth Boundaries provide structure in our lives and can help us assert our rights and set limits on how much we are willing to give or take from others

You will need discipline because setting and maintaining boundaries can be difficult. It requires you to be assertive and confront people if needed You must think about your own feelings and needs, consider how to diplomatically articulate boundaries, and be willing to stand up for yourself accordingly

The first step to setting boundaries is to know yourself. This is especially useful for navigating relationships with challenging people. Whether it be a relative, neighbor, or colleague, you can help avoid drama and emotional turmoil by standing up for yourself

When you decide to communicate your standards with someone, trying to maintain a professional tone is important. Explain to the other person why it is important to you Ask if they have questions and listen to their response. Another thing, try to remain calm and provide examples to illustrate your position

Of course, it is also important to be flexible and be ready to renegotiate boundaries if necessary Show empathy and understanding and be gracious while demonstrating respect and patience.

At the end of the day, remember that you ’ re allowed to draw your own lines and stick to them You don’t owe people explanations or the chance to negotiate them back with you Trust your gut Stay Pretty!
