Benefits of Setting Boundaries

Setting limits can provide balance in your life. Some of the benefits of setting boundaries include:

  • Avoiding burnout: Doing too much for too many people is an easy way to burn out. Setting boundaries can help prevent burnout.
  • Less resentment: Giving and helping others is a strength, but when it turns into doing too much for others, you may start to feel resentful. Setting boundaries around what you are able to do can reduce or even get rid of any resentment that may have come up for you.
  • More balance: Sometimes, the boundaries we need to set are with ourselves. For example, while it can feel like a nice escape to binge-watch a favorite show, staying up too late on work nights can lead to exhaustion. Setting a boundary with yourself to go to bed earlier can give your life a little more balance
