one big issue for me during the beginning of my healing journey was learning how to not only set boundaries, but how to maintain them. so i decided to make this post just in case anyone is going through something similar.

Setting and maintaining boundaries is crucial for mental wellness. People often test these limits, which can create guilt and fear of conflict. To navigate this, consistency is key—stick to the boundaries you’ve established, and communicate them clearly. For example, if you decide not to engage in conversations after a certain time, hold firm to that limit. Remind yourself that enforcing boundaries is an act of self-respect, not selfishness. It's also important to practice self-affirmations and reflect on whether your boundaries are being respected. Engaging in a supportive community can also provide encouragement and reinforcement as you work on your mental health. Remember, maintaining your boundaries teaches others to respect your needs as well. Celebrate your progress and connect with others who are on a similar journey to mental wellness. Together, we can support each other and grow through our experiences.
I just figured out how to set boundaries last year. still a daily practice. thank you so much for these wonderful reminders!
