Why set healthy limits?✋🏻
As you saw in my previous posts, I always talk about maintaining optimal mental health as essential. Establishing healthy, firm and clear limits helps us a lot in this regard. Not only that, but setting these limits improves our interpersonal relationships. Why? Make it clear what we allow✅ and what we do not.❌
Without clear limits, many times we can feel that other people abuse our kindness or our time, which makes us generate resentments and annoyances, when in reality it is we who do not communicate what bothers us.
There are people who try to invade other people's spaces or question limits. However, those people who love you, such as your partner, your friends, family, etc., may not respect the limits because they do not know them. So how can you expect them to respect them if you don't communicate them?🤔
Sometimes we are afraid to set these limits because we don't know how the other person would react and we want to avoid conflict. But once you know yourself, the easier it will be to understand what is good for you and what is bothering you. As well as what you accept and tolerate from others. It is important to be responsible and communicate what we think. Otherwise, conflicts, fights are generated and even many relationships can end.
Do not forget! Setting healthy boundaries is important in all relationships. 🤗
Is it difficult for you to establish these limits?
