Building healthy boundaries is essential for your own mental and
emotional wellbeing, but it can be challenging in high context
cultures where indirect communication and interdependence are
valued.
Here are some tips to help you build healthy boundaries:
1. Recognize your own boundaries
2. Communicate your boundaries
3. Listen to others
4. Negotiate compromises
5. Practice self-care.
By doing so, you'll build stronger relationships with others, as
well as a stronger sense of self-worth and resilience.
In this episode, I share beginnings of my journey of recognizing
that I was suffering from burnout, anxiety and lacking joy and
happinness despite the many achievements. Setting up healthy
boundaries and saying no has had to become part of my every day
thought process. Though, it has not been easy as I have lost
relationships and suffered painfully from saying no, I am on my way
to finding myself again.
Coming home to myself has been the greatest journey I've ever
taken. It's a process of self-discovery, self-improvement, and
self-love. I'm learning to embrace my flaws, accept my mistakes and
trust my journey. It's a beautiful feeling to be true to yourself
and living life on your own terms.
