⚠ ⚠ “ People often talk about 'Setting Boundaries but what does that really mean
️
🎯 Boundaries are essentially guidelines for how you want to be treated – it's about learning when and how to say 'no.'
🎯Your personal boundaries essentially define your personal brand – they're a statement about what you will and won't tolerate.
🎯Establishing boundaries is crucial for building lasting, healthy relationships both in and out of the workplace.
👉 Here's how boundaries can manifest at work place.
✔ Physical Boundaries : Declining physical contact from a coworker is an example.
✔ Psychological Boundaries : Asking a coworker not to make unreasonable demands on your time.
✔ Material Boundaries :Telling someone/ coworker to return things they owe you.
✔ Respect Boundaries : Asserting that you won't tolerate being put down by a coworker or friend.
✔ Emotional Boundaries :Clearly communicating how you expect reciprocal support in friendships or professional relationships.
👉 One common barrier to setting boundaries is the fear of conflict. But by establishing healthy boundaries, you may face pushback from those accustomed to taking advantage of you.
👉 Remember, those who resist your boundaries are often the ones who benefited from your lack of them.
👉 Setting boundaries requires courage and self-care. You might need to distance yourself from those who don't respect your boundaries and disengage from unproductive conversations.
️👉 People with good boundaries are attractive – they exude confidence, courage, and are willing to take risks for what matters to them.
👉So, how do you set boundaries without being mean ⁉
✔ Start by Saying 'NO' : Be firm and confident.
✔ Be Concise : Keep your response short and direct.
✔ Start Small : Begin with minor boundaries and gradually build from there.
⚠ Setting boundaries isn't about being mean; it's about valuing yourself and your well-being. It's a crucial skill for fostering healthy relationships and personal growth.“
