know your limits
Many times some people start interfering in our lives excessively, and we remain silent. In trying to keep others happy, we make ourselves so upset that we feel like being alone. But this is not the solution to the problem. Why should we reach such a situation? Set your boundaries from the beginning.
understand yourself
Before you say ‘no’ to someone, know what things bother you. Understand which tasks you are doing only under pressure.
set your boundaries
Identify which tasks tire you mentally or physically. When you understand your limits, you’ll know when to say no. During this time, do not keep any burden in your mind, rather express your views with confidence.
speak directly, no excuses
We often make excuses to avoid being rude, which leads to misunderstandings. Instead of making excuses, say clearly, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t do this’ or ‘I’m not comfortable with this.’ They may feel bad initially, but later they will appreciate your honesty.
the right way to say no
Express your feelings instead of giving excuses without reason. If someone wants to take you to a place where you are uncomfortable with noise or crowds, tell them clearly that you feel suffocated there. Similarly, if someone asks for a loan, say that you don’t want to bring money into the friendship because it could damage the relationship. People will understand what you say.
Don’t be too flexible
If you suppress everything you say, people will start to dominate you. Be it office or home, muster the courage to express your views. Express your needs without spoiling the relationship, this will strengthen the relationship.
Scope is necessary in every relationship
Marriage or any relationship does not mean slavery. Don’t give up your hobbies and dreams. If you like painting or meeting friends, tell your partner clearly that this is essential to your happiness. Along with this, also take care of privacy. Checking each other’s phones or emails without permission weakens trust.
tolerate no interference
If someone’s words irritate you, interrupt immediately. If you remain silent, the other person will dominate you. Make them understand to what extent their interference in your life is justified.
stop bad behavior
Many times people take advantage of being close and talk or touch inappropriately. If you don’t like someone’s touching or flirting, then keep your distance without hesitation. Hesitation in such matters can prove costly.
take responsibility for your words
A wise person is one who takes responsibility for his words and decisions. When you are honest with yourself, your respect will increase and it will become easier to set boundaries in life.
