RE: How to Develop Healthy Boundaries
Beforehand:
One approach to setting boundaries is simply to tell yourself what you will do and say beforehand. Now, this can be tough sometimes. So, it is critical to talk to yourself or with some friends. You have to check in periodically and make sure you have a plan each day, week, month, hour, moment, or however often as you want.
Be Ready To Say No
It is critical to be prepared to say no as that is a way to set a boundary. That does not mean you have to say no. You can allow yourself to change your mind to say yes. But it can be harder to stop yourself from saying yes in order to say no in order to enforce your boundaries.
hi @joeyarnoldvn thank you so much for your input. Appreciate it. Personally I am still struggling with enforcing my boundaries as I find its so challenging to stop myself from saying YES because I am an empath and have this knee jerk reaction to say yes to everyone problem. Thanks again for your input and have a good day!
Saying yes is good to the extent that you really want to say yes, assuming that yes is the best choice you can make. So, saying yes does not have to be a bad thing. So, in order to say no to one thing you must find other things to say yes to that will substitute those things. It is not about saying no to things you don't want to do but rather in focusing on saying yes to what you love and what believe in over mere emotional reaction to what happens to you in life.
that makes sense. thanks again for sharing your golden nugget.
