What were your thoughts on the last blog post on the 3 types of boundaries? Did you reflect on where you are?
Here are the 3 types of boundaries again:
1) Collapsed: when you say yes to everyone and everything, at the expense of your own health or time
2) Rigid: when you are emotionally detached and don’t allow others close to you
3) Positive/Healthy boundaries: when you have a good balance in being able to connect with others and at the same time stand up for your needs.
6 Ways to Set Your Boundaries:
Here are 6 simple ways to set your personal boundaries:
- Saying no. And remember – no is a full sentence!
- Saying no even to yourself during those times that you think “I need to get it all done”!
- Choosing who you spend time with or how frequently.
- Choosing what events you will attend personally and/or professionally.
- Making time for yourself, even if only a few minutes a day. Self-care deserves to be protected.
- Communicating and clarifying when you are unsure what someone means. We all usually mean well – but it’s sometimes our choice of words of how we perceive the words based on our past experiences that impacts interpretation!
I am curious – what do you do to set your boundaries? I’m sure there are many more ways!! Please do share.
