Holding Boundaries
Holding boundaries with compassion means protecting your own energy, needs, and values without abandoning empathy or kindness for others. It’s not about being harsh or cold — it’s about being clear, grounded, and loving, both to yourself and the person you’re setting the boundary with.
Here’s how to do it:
🧭 1. Know Your Needs
Before you set a boundary, get clear on why you need it. Is it for your mental health? Your time? Your safety? Compassion starts with self-awareness.
“This isn’t selfish — it’s self-respect.”
🗣️ 2. Use Kind, Clear Language
