Blogchatter Half Marathon : Importance of Setting Boundaries



Do you often find yourself distracted from your goals? Do you fail to maintain consistency? Is it challenging for you to overcome after the break's comfort zone?

So, let me tell you what is lacking. It is due to failure in setting boundaries. Now, what does it mean?

Setting boundaries refers to clear and healthy limitations in different facets of your life, including work, emotional, personal, and social, to protect your well-being and personal space. It is crucial to live a balanced life.


Significance of Setting Boundaries


It is essential to set boundaries. Let's find out the significance of setting boundaries:


Conserving Emotional and Mental Health


By setting boundaries, you can be conscious of your choices. When you have to make your decisions, you do not suffer from guilt trips. It conserves your emotional and mental health.


Often, you come across situations where you find it challenging to refuse politely. But once you set your boundaries, the people who care for you respect them, and hence, it avoids useless quarrels intacting your peace.


Maintaining Personal Space


Boundaries allow enough space for you to think, grow, and be the real you without feeling pressure or suffocation. It defines the extent between you and the people. 


It is necessary to define personal space, viz., where you start and where you end. It means emphasizing the importance of living freely.


Time Management


Time management is to be able to finish your tasks within a defined timeframe. If you do not set boundaries, you juggle between different things and people and end up with pending assignments.


But by having fixed boundaries, you can manage things efficiently because you understand when to start and stop doing tasks, and the limitations you set work as barriers that reflect your favorable side.


Work-Life Balance


Boundaries help you in work-life balance. Work and life are complementary to each other. The limitations play an essential role in creating harmony.


With a fixed boundary, you can manage your work and life simultaneously without getting a setback in your personal or professional life.


Empowering Yourself


Since the beginning of the blog, I have been talking about boundaries. You would think these are mere barriers in life. But, to be frank, these empower you. Once you learn to set them, you get enough time for yourself. You can think and work on your growth.

It appears challenging in the beginning. 


Remind yourself that no success comes in one day. Take baby steps to set boundaries. Make a strategy and start working on it. Ensure not to break the rhythm of the plan. Gradually, things will expand, and your limitations will help you grow. 


Final Words

If you think boundaries will be obstacles, try for once, and you can decide. 


Remember when your brain and heart made you think this or that, resulting in your suffering. You will feel the importance of setting boundaries.


"Setting boundaries will act as a path towards your success."

In Uniform or Casual: Always on Duty

Ram Pratap Sharma woke up early in the morning, seeing a long day ahead. He got ready in his uniform to board a convoy jeep that would transfer him from Tawang to Tezpur. Early morning travel was a bliss for him, with pleasing weather and quiet roads. After all, the roads were covered with fog and chilling winds. The patriotic songs played in the background as Ram looked outside, resting on the window, feeling the serenity of the mountains. He was leaving for home after joining the armed forces for the holidays. His life changed completely. In that 12-15 hours journey, he lived several lives from being a son, to being an army officer, he felt gratitude, and his smile showed satisfaction. His mate. Dheeraj, in the driver's seat, noticed him and asked playfully, "Aur Ram, kaisa lagra hai? Pehli baar ghar jaare ho na yaha aane ke baad?" (So, Ram, how are you feeling? You are going home for the first time since you came here, right?) Coming out of his trance, Ram looked at hi...
