Healthy Boundaries In Relationships

Write your guide to setting healthy boundaries in relationships.

Respect.

Knowing your worth and truth.

Loving yourself.

And one of the biggest things is if someone ever makes you feel bad about yourself….to me, that’s an immediate red flag.

If you do not work on yourself it’s very easy to get caught up in your own insecurities and into the web of people pleasing. As well as allowing someone to have control over you.

You should love the people that surround you, you should be able to be your one hundred percent self – no filters. The people around you ACCEPT YOU – flaws and all.

Be comfortable telling people no.

Be comfortable with disappointing others.

Be comfortable standing up for yourself.

Be comfortable with the fact that you may loose that relationship or friendship. And truthfully, it may be for the better.

Why are you trying so hard and they aren’t?

Some people can’t handle confidence in others, some people can’t handle when someone actually speaks up, some people have too much pride.

I believe in giving others grace, I truly do. However if someone cannot do the same for you that’s another friendship or relationship you may not want to be in OR that’s when the boundary is set.

For example, I have people in my life I no longer reach out to. However if they came to my house and needed help with something I would absolutely help them. But I know longer go out of my way for them. It’s unfortunate, but in a way it’s freeing. Because before I would try really hard with these relationships and now I recognize it’s really not me, it’s them.

You deserve good people in your life.
