Clear personal boundaries can be tough to master. It’s easy to become too rigid to keep others at a distance or too enmeshed, losing track of where we end and others begin.
Boundaries are important because they help us live in alignment with our values. They help keep us and others healthy as we navigate various relationships. They allow us to communicate our needs and wants to others while we also respect the needs and wants of others.
When our boundaries are set too far in either direction, we set ourselves and others up for resentment, hurt, anger, anxiety, and burnout.
When we are clear about who we are we can take better care of ourselves and others. Separating our needs and feelings from others empowers us to make healthy decisions and take personal responsibility for our choices. It also gives others the freedom to make the best decisions for themselves, too. #leadership #boundaries #growth #authenticity #leadclearly
