Set boundaries with others from "summary" of Be Calm by Jill Weber
Setting boundaries with others is an essential part of maintaining your emotional well-being. It involves clearly communicating your needs, limits, and expectations to others in order to protect yourself from being taken advantage of or feeling overwhelmed. When we fail to set boundaries, we leave ourselves vulnerable to emotional manipulation and burnout. It's important to remember that setting boundaries is not about being unkind or selfish. In fact, it is a form of self-care that allows you to protect your mental and emotional health. By clearly expressing your limits and expectations, you are showing respect for yourself and others. This can lead to healthier and more fulfilling relationships in the long run. Setting boundaries with others requires self-awareness and assertiveness. You must first identify what your needs and limits are before you can effectively communicate them to others. This requires introspection and reflection on what is important to you and what you are willing to tolerate. Once you have a clear understanding of your boundaries, it is important to communicate them to others in a calm and respectful manner. This may involve saying no to requests that you are not comfortable with, expressing your feelings when you are hurt or upset, or setting limits on how others can treat you. It's important to remember that setting boundaries is an ongoing process. As you grow and change, your boundaries may also shift. This is why it is important to regularly check in with yourself and make adjustments as needed. By setting boundaries with others, you are taking an important step towards prioritizing your own well-being and maintaining healthy relationships.
