- IF we get too involved with others' problems?
- IF we can't say NO to others' requests?
- IF we 'overshare' personal info [like in social media]?
- IF we seek to please others for fear of rejection?

Setting Boundaries
Setting Boundaries
Akin to exercise, meditation and even budgeting, Setting Boundaries is our most common YET unseen challenge in our every day life. YET, it's a reality we need to face and take action, one way OR the other. Even so, finding the time to change any of our unhealthy behaviors, learn and build new habits is easier said than done. However, WHEN reality kicks in, SETTING BOUNDARIES is easier said than done📗📙📘
Truth is, SETTING BOUNDARIES is inevitable. Between home and work, business and personal, friendship and business, financials and non-financials, academics and co-curricular, socials and civic engagements, counselling and discipline, these are the most common areas in our daily life where SETTING BOUNDARIES is a must do. WHAT IF we ignore SETTING BOUNDARIES? YES YOU MAY but brace yourself for the ramifications!@#$%?
WHAT we often miss out here is that understanding HOW to SET BOUNDARIES [a.k.a. setting personal limits] is essential for building and maintaining healthy relationships. Very recently, a colleague was about to leave our organization and in her last days of employ, she sent me an SMS borrowing a 'sum of money' for reasons I will not divulge here. BUT I realized one thing, there was NO BOUNDARY that moment💥💥💥
It's true almost everyone know what 'BOUNDARIES' mean BUT quite a number DON'T have an idea WHAT they are, seriously. True, literally speaking, BOUNDARIES are like property lines BUT in life, BOUNDARIES are NOT rigid lines drawn in the sand that are clear for all to see. BOUNDARIES are a way to take care of ourselves. WHEN we understand HOW to set and maintain healthy BOUNDARIES, we can likely avoid the feelings of resentment, disappointment and anger that may build up WHEN limits are pushed❎❎❎
Our takeaway: Before I get misunderstood whether I'm more for loose OR open BOUNDARIES, let's be 'spot on' for these tell-tale signs we're off-track:
