A Better Today
Establishing &
Respecting Boundaries
Communicating & Establishing Boundaries Ensures You Respect Yourself and Others
The phrase “good fences make good neighbors” hints at the idea of boundaries keeping the peace in society and relationships.
Healthy boundaries are one of the most important and best ways to maintain healthy relationships. You interact with the world continuously throughout the day, every day.
If you lack healthy boundaries or do not respect those of others, the day to day experiences could prove overwhelming and toxic. Boundaries are a commonly neglected area of life, which leaves people vulnerable to be taken advantage of or taking advantage of another.
A common side effect of ineffective boundaries is the sense that relationships in your life take the same path every time. You might feel like you just attract a certain type of person or that you are fated to be in destructive relationships.
