WELLBEING WEDNESDAY | Healthy boundaries
A boundary is a limit or edge that defines you as separate from others.
Setting healthy boundaries requires self-awareness. We need to be clear about our expectations of ourselves and others, and what we are and are not comfortable with in specific situations.
Setting healthy boundaries requires good communication skills that convey assertiveness and clarity.
Examples of healthy boundaries include:
- declining anything you don’t want to do
- expressing your feelings responsibly
- talking about your experiences honestly
- replying in the moment
- addressing problems directly with the person involved, rather than with a third party
- making your expectations clear rather than assuming people will figure them out
