A personal boundary is necessary for a positive self-awareness and self-image.Everyone should try to build a healthy personal boundary. It is an essential way to communicate with others with self-respect, self-worth, and it will help other people to respect us.

A personal boundary is actually an emotional, mental, and physical limit we build for ourselves to keep us away from being manipulated or violated by others. It keeps us separate from other people and tells them who we are and how we differ from other people’s feeling and thoughts. The presence of personal boundaries helps to makes us to be a unique individual.

Without a healthy personal boundary, it is not possible to have a healthy relationship with others. Each one of us must recognize that we are unique individuals with unique skills, unique emotions, and unique preferences. This also applies to our children and our close relatives.

How to Establish a Healthy Personal Boundary.

Everyone has a right to have personal boundaries. You not only have the right to preserve a personal boundary but also you need to take the responsibility for how you allow other persons to treat you. Your own personal boundaries act like a filter for what you should and shouldn’t do. If you don’t draw a boundary then you are making a clear path for others to treat you lightly. To avoid this kind of situation, everyone should consider building a healthy personal boundary and set a clear and instinctive limit to approach others to get respect from them.

Your needs are always more important than others. If I get it right, then almost every woman in a family thinks that their needs are less important than their husband or children. I personally disagree with that kind of feeling. A woman is considered as the backbone of a family. If a woman destroys herself physically or mentally, then not only is she getting herself into trouble but is also putting her whole family into big trouble, because her family depends on her. So every woman should encourage other family members to not only take care of themselves but also to take care of their mother or wife.

Get used to saying NO. Many of us are people-pleasers and often put ourselves at a disadvantage by trying to please everyone. We don’t want to be self-centered, so we set our individual needs aside and accept things that may not be favorable to our well-being. To be clear, a certain quantity of “selfishness” is necessary for having healthier individual limitations. You do not do anyone any favors, least of all yourself, by trying to please others at your own cost.

You have the most power in your own life. You know yourself the best. You know what you want, you know what you need and you know what you value. Don’t let anyone create the choices for you. Healthier limits make it possible for you to see your strong points, capabilities and personality as well as those of others. A harmful discrepancy happens when you motivate clinginess, or are needy, want to
be saved, or when you wish to play the sufferer.

Don’t fall into to this self sabotage trap. Break free of the limiting beliefs and watch how much you grow just by setting simple boundaries.

To all you success!
