Without strong boundaries, you can suffer both physically and emotionally. If you have weak work boundaries — perhaps you take on new projects despite being busy — you can end up feeling tired, grouchy and burned out.

A weak or missing boundary in one area can have a domino effect on many aspects of your life. “The downstream consequences can include a lack of time or emotional availability for the people and things you care about,” Holland-Kornegay says.

🚴 For example, if you have a friendship that takes a lot of bandwidth — perhaps this person calls you constantly — you can end up short-changing people who are important to you. You may not get enough sleep or self-care time. This can impact your concentration at work, your mood and your health overall.
Another serious pitfall of poor boundaries: You increase the chances of being used, manipulated or violated by others. When you aren’t clear on what kind of treatment you’ll tolerate from others, you may be more vulnerable to accepting disrespect and abuse. (This doesn’t mean it’s your fault when you’re mistreated.)

Setting boundaries might sound easy in theory: No more volunteering to take on extra assignments? Done. An end to hours-long conversations with the neighbor about her divorce? Check. But it can be difficult in reality, and it takes practice to perfect. 😛 😬 🙄

Some people struggle with it more than others. There are several reasons for this:

👉 You’re afraid you’ll hurt someone’s feelings. It’s a fact that setting a boundary could cause the person on the receiving end to have negative feelings, Doll says. And for some folks, this possibility may keep them from setting limits. It’s normal to be empathic. But if you don‘t set limits for fear of hurting them, you’re essentially prioritizing their feelings over your own wellness.

👉 Your personality may predispose you to avoid boundary-setting. Some personality types are more prone than others to having weak boundaries. For people who tend to want to please others or seek approval, boundary-setting isn’t always natural.

👉 You’re not comfortable communicating your boundaries. Setting boundaries requires communicating them clearly to the people who challenge them, which can create discomfort. “It requires a level of assertiveness, and that can be challenging for some,” Doll says.

👉 Your boundaries aren’t clear to yourself, let alone others. It’s impossible to communicate something that you haven’t fully defined for yourself. Taking time to figure out what’s important to you and how you will safeguard those priorities will help you identify the boundaries that you’ll set and communicate.

10/07/2024

Here are some tips to do just that:

✏️ Go for doable. “Make boundaries achievable and clear,” Holland-Kornegay says. Don’t set such a high bar (no work on weekends ever) that you won’t be able to keep that boundary in place. Better: Set a moderate, specific boundary: 2 weekends each month completely work-free.

✏️Stick to the big stuff. Don’t fall into the trap of setting constraints on trivial things. Instead, “make a few sensible boundaries for the big-ticket stressors in your life and introduce more once you feel like you’re ready,” says Holland-Kornegay.

✏️Focus on what makes you happy and work backward from there. Look for the high point in your day. Maybe you feel incredible when you find time to jog, read a book, hang out with the family, listen to a podcast or just relax in a bath. The question you need to ask yourself: How can I sprinkle more of these satisfying activities into my day?

✏️Consider the relationship when setting a boundary. Limits will vary depending on the situation and who’s involved, Doll says. You’ll have different boundaries with your work colleague than with your spouse, for instance.

Setting boundaries is more than just a popular hashtag on Instagram. It’s a critical skill that can improve every aspect of your life, whether it’s your career, your relationships or even your health. 😁

Here are 5 important ones:

💪 Physical boundaries: These govern how you want others to respond to aspects of your physical body. This includes placing limits around space and physical touch. They also refer to your ability to meet basic needs such as sleeping and eating.

🤔 Emotional boundaries: These refer to how you communicate and manage your feelings and availability. You may get overly involved in other people’s problems. On the flip side, you may have difficulty getting close to people.

🧠 Intellectual boundaries: These refer to your thoughts, ideas and opinions. How do you expect others to respond to your opinions, and how do you react to those of others?

🏡 Property boundaries: These help you manage your personal possessions. How protective are you over your belongings, including your clothes, car and home?

⏰ Boundaries around time and availability: This includes how you manage time with work, family and friends.

When you’re feeling low, the pick-me-up you may need may be as simple as getting your blood flowing. Yes, we’re talking about exercise.

Some research has shown movement can be a mood elevator. It’s also shown exercise may help prevent and ease certain mental health conditions. (CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics)

But when you don’t feel well emotionally, it can be hard to find the energy to do some things. So it’s important to reach out for help if you’re not feeling well.
It’s also important to follow instructions from your doctor or other care provider if you’ve been diagnosed with a mental health condition.

Adding in exercise or other physical activities to your routine may further help you take care of your emotional health.

We want to hear from you! What’s your favorite type of movement? 🚴 👇

🧠 Expect some mixed emotions. It’s natural to at once feel eager to leave and sad to say goodbye. Also, expect your emotions to fluctuate as you adjust.

🧠 Learn practical skills. Consider what you need in terms of food, shelter and health, and begin tackling the “how to’s” of cooking, cleaning, budgeting and all the rest.

🧠 Develop soft skills. Living on your own brings new interpersonal challenges. Treating others with respect and considering different perspectives can go a long way in smoothing this part of the journey.

🧠 Live your own life. Avoid comparing yourself to others in unrealistic or unhealthy ways. Remember, you’re on your own path and in your own body.

🧠 Give yourself space to change. Whether you’re heading off to university, moving to a new city or starting a job, you don’t have to know everything right now. Expect to grow and shift as you experience life.

🧠 Make good choices. You need to look out for yourself. That includes considering the consequences of your actions, like staying out late the night before a major exam or splurging when you’re on a tight budget.

🧠 Understand you’re a work in progress. You may legally be an adult, but your body, mind and spirit continue developing well into your early 30s. Don’t be afraid to ask for help thinking through tough decisions or difficult feelings.

🧠 Stay connected. Regularly keep in touch with trusted adults who can offer support and valuable advice.

🧠 Take care of yourself. Practice self-care for better health and wellbeing. That includes getting enough sleep, eating nutritious foods and being active.

Cover the basics. ✏️
Before you dismiss your child's outburst as a lack of control, ask yourself if there is a simple explanation for what’s going on. Are they hungry or thirsty? Are they too hot or cold? Are they overstimulated? Did they get enough sleep? Are they feeling under the weather (i.e. – colds, allergies, headaches, upset stomachs)?

Environment matters.✏️
Do your best to create a home that is low on stress, safe, and supportive. A “Mary Poppins”-type household would be great, but let’s get real. If you and your significant other get in a fight, keep it away from the kids. Give reasonable timelines for getting chores done. Praise your child for the things they do well and let them know that you love them.

Create calm. ✏️
A child in crisis and out of control cannot rely on reason. Your gut reaction may be to panic or go into mama/papa bear mode, but they rely on you to help them regain a sense of calm and stability. Soften your voice and use short, clear directions: “Come with me.” “Sit down.” “Take a deep breath.” “Tell me what’s going on.”

Create routines. ✏️
Routines give a sense of stability to children and teens, especially those who struggle with anxiety. Keep both bedtime and the morning in mind. The Sleep Foundation recommends 9-11 hours of sleep for children ages 6-13, and 8-10 hours of sleep each night for teens ages 14-17.

1. Meditation can lower your stress. 🧘‍♀️
Your brain and central nervous system are in charge of everything you do. Those are the millions of tiny nerve cells that send your body messages. They tell you what you need to do and when you need to do it.
One of your nervous system’s most important tasks? Regulating your fight-or-flight response. That’s your reaction when something scary happens. If a big dog attacks, you can either fight it off or run away. You need your fight-or-flight response to stay safe and out of danger.
When that happens, your heart rate and blood pressure go way up. Your muscles get tense and ready to move. Your body reacts the same way to emotional stress. If you have an argument with a friend, that response can kick in the same way. And if you’re stressed out for too long, it can lead to health problems.

2. Meditation can help you think more clearly. 🧘‍♀️
Let’s say you’re working on five different tasks at work. Then your boss calls. You might feel a little overwhelmed. That’s where meditation can help.
An important benefit of meditation is the ability to clear and focus your mind, says Carpenter.
When you meditate, you focus on the now. You may think about the past or the future, but you let those thoughts go. And you always return to the now. Focusing on the moment can help you in lots of ways.
For example, it can help you concentrate on the job you’re working on. That in turn can help you do it better. It can also help you listen carefully to your friends and loved ones. That can make your relationships better.

3. Meditation can help make you healthier. 🧘‍♀️
Meditation can do a lot more than just lower stress. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, meditation may also:
Ease anxiety and depression
Lower symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD
Help you heal from substance use disorders
Help you sleep better
Improve mental health for those with breast cancer

Su***de is a global health issue. But it’s not often discussed openly. Silence, or
even hushed tones, can add to the stigma. That can cause feelings of shame for
people who have survived a su***de attempt or lost someone to su***de. Instead, it’s
important to show others that we care. We will listen without judgment and will help
them get support when they need it.

Wondering what you should say or do if you’re worried about someone? Want to
show support in your community? Here are some ideas for getting started. 🧠
