Dealing with Backlash in Regards to Personal Boundaries - Personal Boundaries

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Thank you so much for joining me again!

Happy Thursday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: Personal Boundaries

Personal boundaries are key is establishing & maintaining stability within mental health. Knowing how to create & maintain boundaries are also skills that will become invaluable & crucial to daily happiness & self-acceptance.

Here are some great ideas on how to create, improve & maintain Personal Boundaries!

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• Not everyone is going to be ok with you setting boundaries for yourself, especially if they have been walking all over you & taking advantage.
• But the #1 thing I will tell you about boundaries is that you need to stand strong & maintain those boundaries for those to work.
• And boundaries WILL work for you if you work to keep them.
• But not everyone will accept your boundaries at first or at all. Keep that in mind. But for the peeps that DO & stick by your side, keep them close.
• Also know that boundaries can result in certain relationships ending, which is something you should be ready for, more so with the people YOU KNOW are toxic and really just need to go anyway.
• Try not to take it personal if people don’t accept your new way of life because it’s their problem they aren’t willing to accept you & your changes. It might feel VERY devastating at first, but it’s all about your mental health & what is best for you. It will be fine after some time.
• And know that having boundaries is NOT selfish. It’s just you taking care of yourself, which we are all responsible to do.
• Something else that will help is to address boundary violations early. Don’t let these types of things build up & overflow. You shouldn’t do that with any emotions, actually.
• If you have a fear of confrontation, conflict and don’t ever want to create a hassle for someone, just know these things will prevent you from maintaining boundaries.
• You shouldn’t have to sacrifice what you need in order to demonstrate your care for someone else.
• Brene Brown said it best in this quote, “Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.”
