YOUR BOUNDARIES

Think back to the imaginary brick wall… Over time, we put building blocks in place – these are our personal boundaries.

When we enter into a relationship, we often take the odd brick out to compromise; this is entirely normal and necessary.

But sometimes we end up taking more and more of these bricks out until we no longer have any wall at all, just a pile of rubble.

This is not compromising; this is sacrificing.

When our boundaries are sacrificed, it negatively affects our own wellbeing and happiness, and we can become resentful. Having boundaries in place doesn’t show a lack of love or care for others; it just shows care and love for yourself.

The first step is to define your boundaries. Really think about what your boundaries are, what you are comfortable with, and what you’re not comfortable with, and be very clear on what it is that you want and what bricks you need in your wall.
