How To Set And Maintain Healthy Boundaries
Keep the focus on yourself.
Instead of saying “You have to stop bothering me after work”, say it like “I need some time to myself when I get back from work.”
Set consequences
There are times in which “It is impossible to set boundaries withou consequences” (IPFW/Parkview Student Assistance Program, n.d.) State explicitly why these boundaries are important or what will happen if they are violated.
"You need to stop using me like a tool or we dont have to see each other again."
Declare only consequences that you're willing to follow through on, or else the boundaries will not be effective.
