Boundaries are extremely important and often not focused on.
Creating boundaries ensures that you have the capacity to manage frustrations more successfully and with ease.
Itâs easy to say âyou have to have boundariesâ, but HOW?
We believe in quantifying your boundaries – making it concrete so that itâs visible – that makes more sense for our children too, right?Â
Choose a person that is dear to you – this can be a friend, a colleague or even a family member.
Do you sometimes feel that you give so much to this person that you donât have time to refuel your own energy levels? If this is the case, it basically means that you are giving more than you can – your own health could start to suffer because of this.
How can you go about quantifying your boundaries with this person:
Decide what you are willing to offer in terms of time spent – if itâs contact with a family member, perhaps a visit once a week (or once a month, twice a year – depending on the logistics of seeing your family and the type of relationship that you have).
Think of the amount of time on phone calls and the frequency of these.
Now, create a boundary table and stick with that.
Anything that you do âon top ofâ the agreed-upon times (with yourself), is seen as a bonus and should only happen when and if you are capable of doing this.Â
We understand that this is not always possible with everyone in your life, but setting quantifiable boundaries will help you carve out time for yourself – to recharge your own energy levels and thus – help you increase your capacity to manage other responsibilities in your life.Â
