Tips on Setting Boundaries
- Be upfront. Communicate your limits and discuss boundaries early.
- Assume the best of them and talk to their best self. They care for you and want you to be healthy too.
- Revisit the boundaries you set if you feel that you’re drifting beyond them.
- Be open to change. Circumstances change and so will your capacity to be there for someone. Maybe you have more time to give, maybe you have less. Don’t be afraid to reassess your limits and communicate them.
- Keep on keeping on. Continue to do things you’d usually do together. Don’t let the relationship become all about support.
