1. KNOW YOUR LIMITS:
It’s difficult to set boundaries when you’re unsure of where you stand. Be aware of what your triggers are: what makes you upset? How will you allow yourself to be treated? Knowing your limits helps you to identify when your limits are crossed.
2. BE ASSERTIVE:
Be confident and speak up respectfully when someone is pushing those limits. Do not allow yourself to be manipulated into anything you’re not comfortable with. Know that it is your human right to set those boundaries and respectfully be firm & direct. Being assertive, especially if you aren’t used to it can be nerve-wrecking. So start small with something manageable & practice, practice, practice!
3. DELETE/DISTANCE:
Address your boundaries, and carry through with action. If you have asserted yourself & made it clear to another person that he or she is not respecting your boundaries, it is okay to ignore or even remove/distance yourself from them as much as possible. Remind yourself of your own worth, and that no one has the right to make you feel uncomfortable or take your space away from you. Healthy individuals respect boundaries and will never make you feel bad for it
