How do you ensure self-care? The answer is - by putting boundaries. When we talk about having boundaries in our lives, we are talking about what is acceptable and what is not in order to be a functional and a healthy self. It leads to a sense of ownership knowing what you own and take responsibility for and where it ends.
E N D
Time Boundaries: “I really want to spend more time with you, but I have some work to complete hence can only stay for an hour.”
Physical Boundaries: “I understand you like to express yourself through physical gestures, however, I am not really a hug person so if you can keep that in mind it would be great”.
Conversational Boundaries: “I understand you wish to know about my past, but can we take it slow because I am not yet in a space to talk about it.”
Intellectual Boundaries: “I understand you have strong views about a few things, however, I would like if you could hear out my views and regard them equally important.”
Relationship Boundaries: “There might be times that you may feel hurt by me, I would expect you to tell me instead of passively reacting, so that I am aware of your feelings and we can resolve it.”
Emotional Boundaries: “I know you don’t want me to feel jealous but I cannot help with that right now. It will take some time for me to deal with it and I expect patience and transparency from you which can make it easier for me.”
