Set better boundaries in your relationships from "summary" of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
Setting better boundaries in your relationships is not about building walls or shutting people out. It's about clearly defining your limits and communicating them effectively to others. When you establish boundaries, you are essentially telling people what is and isn't acceptable in terms of how they treat you. This can prevent misunderstandings, conflicts, and resentment down the line.
Boundaries are important because they help you maintain your sense of self-worth and self-respect. When you allow others to overstep your boundaries, you are essentially giving them permission to disrespect you. This can lead to feelings of frustration, anger, and resentment, which can negatively impact your mental and emotional well-being.
To set better boundaries, you first need to identify what is and isn't acceptable to you. This requires self-awareness and introspection. You need to understand your values, needs, and limits so that you can communicate them effectively to others. Once you have a clear understanding of your boundaries, you can then assertively communicate them to others.
When communicating your boundaries, it's important to be firm and direct. Avoid being passive or aggressive, as this can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. Instead, be assertive and respectful in expressing your needs and expectations. Remember that setting boundaries is not about controlling others, but rather about taking care of yourself and your well-being.
Setting boundaries may not always be easy, especially if you're used to putting others' needs ahead of your own. However, it's important to remember that you have the right to set boundaries and prioritize your well-being. By setting better boundaries in your relationships, you can cultivate healthier and more fulfilling connections with others.
