How To Set Healthy Boundaries

Boundaries are not walls that separate you from people. They are your user manual. They are a message to the world: "This is what I agree to, and this is what I don't. This is how I want to be treated." A lack of boundaries leads to burnout, feeling used, and anger.

3 Types of Boundaries

  1. Physical: Your personal space, touch.
  2. Emotional: Separating your feelings from the feelings of others (you are not responsible for everyone's happiness).
  3. Time: Respecting your own time (e.g., not answering work calls at 10 PM).

Start with Boundaries with Yourself

First, you need to learn to set boundaries with yourself (e.g., "No more scrolling, I'm going to sleep"). The Corty app, with reminders for rest and meditation, helps build this inner respect. When you respect yourself, others begin to as well.
