Boundaries.

According to the APA Dictionary Of Psychology,"it is a psychological demarcation that protects the integrity of an individual or group or that helps the person or group set realistic limits on participation in a relationship or activity".

In essence, it is the mental restrictions (which may or may not be visible) on our emotional, mental and physical actions in order to maintain personal identity, mental health, and physical well-being. So, boundaries are essential to thrive exceptionally and assertively.

So, what happens when one is WITHOUT BOUNDARIES?

Nota Bein.

Boundaries aren’t just necessary in your personal relationships. You can as well incorporate them in your workplace- when the environment is toxic and you don't want to quit yet, in schools- in the presence of bullies, etc.

If you feel you will lose friendships or relationships for setting boundaries, then believe me, those people don’t care about your well-being. Because, boundaries are the foundation of healthy relationships, they foster respect and mutual understanding.

Set boundaries and COMMUNICATE it loudly because, if you don’t others will you do it for you and you know what it entails.
