Setting Healthy Boundaries for Social Wellness

March 20, 2025

Our personal boundaries define what we are okay with. Or, another way of looking at it, boundaries are what we feel capable of committing too without overextending ourselves. A person with healthy boundaries can say “no” to some requests, while also being comfortable opening yourself up to vulnerability in relationships.

Benefits of Setting Boundaries

Establishing boundaries is good for you and the people around you. When you’re clear about your boundaries, the people in your world will understand your limits and know what you are and aren’t ok with.

Healthy boundaries can also help you:

  • Live into your values
  • Get clear with yourself and others on what you need for your well-being
  • Support mental health
  • Avoid burnout
  • Improve communication between yourself and others
