Our self boundaries are steps to caring about ourselves

A lot of times when we talk about setting boundaries it tends to be in relation to others and how we can put boundaries with others to set a safe space for ourselves. It’s just as important to set boundaries for ourselves, too. These can include: taking time away from social media, consistently going to sleep at time that honors your schedule, asking for help when you need it, and answering emails when you have mental time and space to do it.

Putting down boundaries for ourselves shows us and our inner child parts that we care and love ourselves. It’s the ultimate form of self-care because we are telling and showing ourselves that our needs matter.

What is one small self-boundary you can set for yourself today? It’s ok to start small if you’re not used to doing this. And it’s ok if it takes time to be consistent or if you make a mistake. The most important thing is that you start something that honors YOU. Hooray!
