⚠️: Personal Boundaries

Personal boundaries protect your emotional wellbeing. People are always attempting to disrespect those lines and I am constantly having to push back. Right now I am not winning. =(

Boundaries help make sure that you are okie. they help protect you. they prevent burnout and help have healthy relationships. I think that I could definitely work on having better boundaries.

@Heather225

boundaries help keep u safe and be kinder to yourself, I think mine aren’t too bad but still need some working on like being able to say no

@Heather225 Having personal boundaries is a great way of practicing self care. As for being a listener on here, having boundaries between myself and members is very important. Often times, we feel like we have to be always readily available to someone and that's not true. It's ok to say you are only available during a certain day and time period. It's ok not to respond when they have messaged outside of your listening hours. Having those boundaries are a way to show that you prioritize you and your time as well. Sometimes things can weigh on your heart and a break is needed. Those boundaries help draw a line so the listener can also focus on them, their mental health, and everyday life. ♡

Personal boundaries are really important for self-care because they help manage our time and energy better, so that we don’t end up feeling overwhelmed.

Also, I’m still working on being clearer and more assertive about my limits but it’s definitely helping me feel more centered and less stressed.

@Heather225

Building personal boundaries reduces the amount of stress you take. It means that you communicate to people your needs and letting them know that you won't be available for some time. During that time you take care of yourself. It is very important to set personal boandaries. Yes, I need to start working on setting my boundaries. 

@Heather225

I am an empath and a feeler. Absorbing people's energies and connecting with their vibes before even talking to them is something that's just been always there, naturally embedded sort of. 

There's all kinds of vibes, all kinds of energies, all kinds of emotions, all kinds of situations, all kinds of thoughts, actions, behaviors and reactions and of course, all kinds of people.

So yes, very much important to have personal boundaries that remind me time and again, what's mine to carry and nurture, and what isn't. Else it takes an emotional toll and eventually, an overall toll on mind, body and soul; to put it lightly. (': 

Knowing when, where and how to switch the pouring cups and the being-poured-to-cups is an essential skill, I believe. 

Personal boundaries help to me help others better while keeping my own capabilities and limitations in-check and holding space for some self-accountability as well as personal responsibility.🌞

Smartphones have made us believe that we always have to be within reach. This is not true. You do not always have to be within reach or online or active. Take some off-time. You deserve it!

@Heather225

They help me in prioritizing things, caring for myself and making sure I and the people around me stay safe. Yes, I am working on setting boundaries with people I love.
