Hello there,
How is your 2023 going so far?
We are back again with our class of psychology!
We are going to talk about “boundaries”.

A boundary can mean a marking or a perimeter wall / fence that you use to clearly show your territory.
The same principle can apply to boundaries when it comes to the human mind.
They can be statements you uphold in your life to protect you from unwanted attention or bad “energy”.

Boundaries can be healthy and unhealthy.
When boundaries are healthy, we flourish and blossom and shine like new money (I have been told).
When boundaries are unhealthy, we become a shadow of ourselves to the point that we do not even know ourselves anymore (I have also been told)!

When you look really close into your life,
Where do you currently lie?
Where would you like to be?

Next time on the class of psychology,
We will be looking further into “healthy boundaries”.
See you then!
Everyone needs to have an establish at least a few personal boundaries. Many things should definitely be off limits and we need to insist that others respect these limits.

It’s one of my goals this year to set some more boundaries. I’ve been stretched too thin lately and need to step back on a few things.

Boundaries are paramount in all aspects of life otherwise you may be manipulated to other people’s interests and forget your self

It is amazing how some people have no boundaries at all. Even just showing up unannounced at your home, it seems like people should realize not to impose.
👏🏿👍
So far so good and hope it will be good for you as well. I agree with you that can be both healthy and unhealthy. We should always stand up for ourselves. Great read!!

Setting clear boundaries is so important and so difficult. I always struggle and land up being at the receiving end for others violating my boundaries. I look forward to your next posts on this topic.

Setting healthy boundaries is so important! In 2023, I hope to get better at setting aside alone time for myself!

This was such a great article! Each and every year I become better and better with setting my boundaries and not feeling guilt about it. That’s the hardest part! Creating boundaries for ourselves also protects our peace
👍👏🏿
Wait! So the same healthy boundaries can be unhealthy? Correct? Cause I kinda wish to set up all those boundaries, but then you didn’t have a diagram for the unhealthy ones…so i figured you meant they can be both.
😆😆 yes, they can be unhealthy, too.
I have been reading up a lot and learning about setting healthy boundaries. I do wish though it was easier to figure out when your boundary starts to become unhealthy.
👏🏿👏🏿
I guess we need not only balance our diet but also tilt towards healthier habbjts and that will be made possible by knowing these boundaries.
😍👏🏿
setting boundaries in any relationship is important. One cannot have a healthy relationship without boundaries.
