The importance of boundaries • IRINA'S WORLD

Hello you beautiful soul! 💙🙏🏻

Let’s speak about the importance of boundaries. If you didn’t know, now you should take careful note that “no” is a complete sentence.

Setting boundaries is way of caring for yourself. It doesn’t mean you are selfish or mean. It means that you care about yourself. We teach others how to treat us. They don’t know our boundaries. Hence why the lack of boundaries, invites lack of respect. You get what you tolerate. Learning to say ‘no’ is the crucial thing. Every time you say ‘yes’ to something you don’t want to do, you’re automatically saying ‘no’ to yourself.

Stop saying ‘yes’ when you want to say ‘no’. Saying ‘no’ to people may be challenging at first and hard work, especially to people you love and care about, but remember that is necessary. For you, your health, self-love and self-respect. That way you teach others to respect you too.

And.. In case you didn’t know.. you can be kind and still say ‘no’.

Learn to say ‘no’ to others when you start saying ‘no’ to yourself.

You can’t please everyone, neither should you.

You should respect, help, be kind and be there for others, as long as you respect, help yourself. As long as you are kind to yourself. And as long as you are there FOR YOURSELF.

If you fear other people’s reactions and that is the reason why you accept to do things even if you don’t want to.. then you lack self love, self-respect, self-esteem, self-identity.. hence why you behave like two faced person.

Just think vice versa, how would you feel if you know that people hang around with you, even if they don’t like it? So why do you do that?

Like I said, learning to set boundaries is very important, and it will be challenging.. but remember you’re doing it because of yourself. Your health.

And very important.. let your boundaries come from the place of self-love, not fear.
