Boundaries to Consider
I say no to things I don’t like.
I say no to things that don’t contribute to my growth.
I say no to things that rob me of valuable time.
I spend time around healthy people.
I reduce my interactions with people who drain my energy.
I protect my energy against people who threaten my sanity.
I practice positive self-talk.
I allow myself to feel and not judge my feelings.
I forgive myself when I make a mistake.
I actively cultivate the best version of myself.
I turn off my phone when appropriate.
I sleep when I’m tired.
I mind my business.
I make tough decisions because they’re healthy for me.
I create space for activities that bring me joy.
I say yes to activities that interest me despite my anxiety about trying them.
I experience things alone instead of waiting for the “right” people to join me.
When people raise their voice at me, I tell them it’s not okay.
I address issues when they arise instead of allowing them to fester.
When a boundary is violated, I clearly define my expectations for communication in the beginning and throughout my relationships. Example: “I’d prefer if we talked about serious matters in person instead of over text.”
When I notice that someone is trying to manipulate me by intentionally trying to guilt me or pushing my boundaries, I recognize it as manipulation and uphold my boundaries.
When someone says something about me that isn’t true, I immediately correct them. Example: They might say, “You’re always late.” You might respond: “I was late today. However, there are other times, such as ____, when I’ve been on time.” Don’t argue; just state what you know to be true.
I speak to myself as gently as I would talk to a small child.
I coach myself through awkward moments.
I allow myself to make mistakes without judging myself harshly.
I don’t call myself names.
I don’t make mean comments about myself either in my mind or out loud in front of others.
I don’t hit people or any property when I’m upset.
If I feel the need to cry, I allow myself to do so.
When I get agitated, I remove myself from the situation and practice my breathing until I feel calm.
I create an idea of the type of people I want in my life.
When I notice issues in my relationships, I honor myself by speaking up.

Boundaries are expectations and needs that help you feel safe and comfortable in your relationships. Expectations in relationships help you stay mentally and emotionally well. Learning when to say no and when to say yes is also an essential part of feeling comfortable when interacting with others.

When we’re going through things, we sometimes hesitate to ask people for help because we assume that the help isn’t available. We do a lot of guesswork and decide that the people we would ask for help don’t have the space in their lives to come through for us. Sometimes, since we have trained ourselves not to ask for help, it can become challenging to accept help even when it is offered. When that happens, we need to remind ourselves that if someone asks if we need their help, that is an invitation to say yes.

Part of being human is being in relationship with other people, and relationships don’t just happen. They’re built over time and they often start with small talk. Some people find it enjoyable. Some don’t. For those of us who find it difficult, we have to find our way through it so that we can create deeper connections.
