Why is setting healthy boundaries important?

Everybody has personal boundaries with which they would feel more at ease navigating life and relationships. The problem is that not everyone has the same boundaries, and most people aren't able to infer what the boundaries of another individual might be.

This is especially true for people who may have lower emotional intelligence (EQ). Furthermore, they frequently stand to gain the most from having their own boundaries made explicit to them.

Simply said, setting boundaries is telling someone else what you need in order to engage in good conversation. It's not always simple. It's possible that not everyone appreciates or comprehends your boundaries or the rationale behind them. However, you can't expect them to be obeyed if you don't establish those boundaries.

It often takes courage and strength to set boundaries, but when you do so, you can feel comfortable knowing your lines have been set. Your needs have been communicated. You would also have the right to put more distance between you and that individual if they continued to cross your boundaries.

Nobody is allowed to cross your limits. (However, it's equally important to remember that you do not have the right to walk on someone else's property aswell.)

Tips for setting personal boundaries

Although they are crucial, boundaries are not always simple to draw. Many times, people are unsure about how to start or express their requirements to others.

If you’re looking for a way to set your own personal boundaries, it may be a good idea first to consider what type of boundary you’re setting.

Emotional boundaries
We don't always think to set emotional boundaries until after one has already been crossed, and they frequently have to do with how other people treat and speak to us. This is OK, though.

Imagine that you had a disagreement with someone and they called you a derogatory name. The greatest method to establish an emotional boundary with that individual when you have both calmed down is to:

-Approach them.
-Ask to speak about the argument.
-Own any part you may have played in the argument going awry.
-Tell them that you are not OK with name-calling and that you will need them to engage without stooping to that level in the future.

About: Boundaries are simply the limits, rules, or lines we set for our own personal comfort. Boundaries are a set of guidelines that are both physical and mental that are established to help protect ourselves when we are around other people and in relationships.

Having healthy boundaries is an important personal skill that will help you thrive and communicate your needs. It is vital to set limits so that others don't take advantage or manipulate you. A person with strong personal boundaries will feel comfortable in saying 'no' when they are asked to do something that they are not comfortable in doing, without feeling the need to apologize.

Everyone's boundaries are different, so once you set yours it shows others how you expect them to behave around you and vice versa.

TIP OF THE DAY

Pursed lip breathing

This simple breathing technique makes you slow down your breathing pace by having you apply deliberate effort in each breath.

You can practice pursed lip breathing at any time. It may be especially useful during activities such as bending, lifting, or stair climbing.

Practice using this breath 4 to 5 times a day when you begin so that you can correctly learn the breathing pattern.

To do it:

• Relax your neck and shoulders.

• Keeping your mouth closed, inhale slowly through your nose for 2 counts.

• Pucker or purse your lips as though you were going to whistle.

• Exhale slowly by blowing air through your pursed lips for a count of 4.

A lot of people struggle with sleep because sleep requires peace.
