It is not always easy to set boundaries in relationships, for ourselves, and in difficult and stressful situations. You may be struggling with knowing what boundary you need or how to express it. Or maybe you are worrying if your boundary will be violated after you set the boundary with someone. If your boundaries feel incomplete, make sure to read, Three Things You Didn’t Know About Your Boundaries – The Heart Advocate to gain insight on what may be missing from your process.
Why is setting boundaries so hard? The process is indeed anything but simple. Setting boundaries is about having an awareness of your needs, self-reflection and gaining clear insight on the action steps you plan to take, building confidence for self-advocacy, affirming the necessity of your expectations and expressing potential consequences [as needed].
If you are seeking support with setting boundaries, I am here to help you. I have created a journal prompt that may assist you:
Ta'lor L. Pinkston "The Heart Advocate" can help you treat your mental health with the medicine of self-love and choose self-love as a coping skill. The Heart Advocate facilitates workshops and presentations on a variety of self-love topics, provides one-on-one Self-love Sessions and Programs, and manages Healing Over Everything (H.O.E.), a support group and virtual safe-space for anyone 18+. The Heart Advocate takes self-love with her everywhere she goes by speaking across Pittsburgh, PA and beyond and on social media about defying beauty standards, self-hate, fear, self-doubt, and the Inner Bullies. The Heart Advocate seeks to eliminate the stigma around mental health treatment and normalize the value of self-love in mental health by sharing her own story and advocating with intention for black individuals, black women and black mothers at the center of her mission, vision, and equity statement.
