Want Healthy Relationships? It Starts with Your Boundaries.

We want to have long and healthy relationships with people. We also want to be our own person and yet, oftentimes, we think we can’t be our own person, have boundaries, and have friends at the same time! Because of this limiting belief, we will shy away from setting boundaries because we don’t want the very people we love to abandon us.    However, if you don’t set boundaries, then how would you be able to maintain your whole self? You begin to get into a pattern where you’re over-functioning and serving other people and you are at risk of losing your sense of self. You’re teaching people how to treat you, and even the most well-intentioned people might unknowingly take advantage of that.    Codependency begins to fester when the lines are blurred between how people should and shouldn’t treat you. Do you know what your limits are? Boundaries give people a guideline on how you want to be treated. Through that, you’re able to develop deep relationships based on respect, care, and love.   Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
