Setting Boundaries

To often we are taught to prioritize the comfort of others over our own. We are left feeling resentful, unfulfilled and confused as to why our needs are not being met. Why is that? The short answer is you probably lack healthy boundaries. When we have healthy boundaries we are able to communicate our standards and where we are willing to collaborate with others to achieve a pleasant outcome for all involved. Do you have healthy boundaries? We can all use some help in this department. Boundary setting is an ever evolving experience and grows as we grow and alter our priorities. Consider what you value for a moment. How would you like to protect it? How would you go about sharing your need for it? Finally, where would you be willing to collaborate and compromise with others as you pursue those wants and needs? If you can answer these questions with a reasonable and honest mindset you just might have what it takes to create health boundaries in your every day life.
