C6 Session 43 - Establishing Your Boundaries

Key Questions

WHO should your boundaries be set up to protect?  

WHAT boundaries were set for you as a child that you would like to keep in your life? 

WHERE are your boundaries when it comes to money and favors?

WHY should you be educated about your boundaries?

WHEN is it appropriate to let someone know when they are not respecting your boundaries?

HOW do your boundaries affect your mental health? 

Self-Reflection Points

• You must know why you have a boundary. Following a crowd or a religious group is not a reason to have a boundary. Always know and believe in your boundaries, then you will be better able to keep them and explain them. They should be a part of your V.E.S.P.M. plan. When you know better - DO BETTER!

• Your inner circle should be a safe place for you to move and express yourself freely. The people who love you will not take advantage of you but will always remind you of your boundaries and help you stay on track. Having a healthy support system around is essential for this to happen.

• If someone is constantly trying to push past your boundaries in a manipulating or narcissistic way you may have to be assertive and be clear as to what you will not tolerate or just take your leave. These people are toxic and may not be good for your mental well-being.

• When you were a young child most likely clear boundaries were set up for you to follow. That didn't affect the love someone had for you but those boundaries helped to build character. 

• Boundaries allow others to show you respect and build a healthy relationship with you.

• Identifying the boundaries you already have in place will help you in setting up additional boundaries. ie; If you know I don't like... then why would ....? 

• Be mindful of what you want to keep private and from who. " I don't want to discuss that with you/ right now"

• When using social media your boundaries can be expressed by what you post.
