Practicing Self-Care and Creating Healthy Boundaries

Do you have difficulty prioritizing your needs and setting boundaries for your self-care? People struggle with this because they tend to put others’ needs in front of them. This is a way of avoiding conflict and making other people happy. 

But setting boundaries is an important key for self-care. The truth is that they protect us physically and emotionally, so they are crucial for our well-being. 

What are healthy boundaries?

In the dictionary, you can find boundaries, such as a line that marks the boundaries of an area. So maybe it transmits the idea of keeping yourself separate. 

But boundary is a limit or space between you and another person. They speak to what we identify as making us comfortable or not. Maybe at the beginning, you will still see them as a separation, but with practice, you will understand that they are connecting points. They will provide healthy rules for all your relationships, with family, friends, in the professional field, and with you. 

You need to understand that without boundaries, you run the risk of losing yourself. You can’t let other people make decisions for you. So, speak up to yourself, set your healthy boundaries, and verbalize what impacts your values.
