Healthy boundaries are necessary for healthy relationships. There are two types of boundaries: internal and external.

Internal boundaries are between you and you. This might look like self-discipline, physical and emotional self-regulation, impulse control, or time management.

External boundaries are between you and others - whether with friends, co-workers, family or your partner. Types of external boundaries include physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and material.

It’s quite common for many people to not have boundaries due to being afraid of offending or hurting others, not wanting to appear too rigid, or not understanding the benefits of having boundaries in the first place.

Healthy boundaries create safety for yourself and for others. They provide freedom to be able to behave in ways that lead you to have life-giving relationships with others and yourself. They help you to know where you end and where another person starts. Having healthy boundaries is a way of showing respect for others and for yourself. ❤️
