Welcome to Mental Health Mondays, where we will dive into a myriad of topics to keep your emotional, physical and mental states on the up and up! Stefania here, kicking us off with one of my favorite topics – boundaries! It’s not just a marker of territories and state lines anymore, but of something that we all need, whether we know it or not!
Maintaining mental health often hinges on setting, practicing, and respecting boundaries – in your work, personal relationships, and even in your own habits and self-care.
Setting boundaries is not about shutting others out or imposing upon them, but about ensuring you have the room to nurture your own well-being, while speaking up about what you are realistically able or unable to do.
