Boundaries are those limits we set either emotionally, physically or mentally that determine what we accept or reject. If you realise that your day to day activities are faced by challenges that are hindering your personal growth and your set goals, it is time to set some boundaries.
Here are four signs you need to set personal boundaries.
1. Always feeling angry and resentful
This means that your boundaries have been crossed and threatened. If you notice that people keep upsetting you, you need to set boundaries and make them clear to the people around you.
2. You're always accepting other people's views
When you notice that you focus on other people's opinions about your life instead of doing what makes you happy, your personal boundaries have been crossed. Set your boundaries and let people's thoughts and opinions be theirs. Decide what to do with your life without dwelling too much on other people's view.
3. You are manipulative and abusive
If you are using manipulative as well as abusive words to get what you want, there's a need to set personal boundaries. You should be responsible for your own life and needs rather than using such tactics to get what you desire.
4. Giving a lot to please others
It is important to take care of your needs for the sake of your well being. Going an extra mile to please other people will only drain you and it is a sign you need to set personal boundaries.
