Understanding boundaries and mental health helps you to be clear about what you need and why, which can help to build better mental health and also improve your relationships. Setting boundaries requires you to think about what matters most to you and then take a fair and balanced approach to setting expectations with others, so in this video I’m looking at why boundaries improve your mental health and how to set boundaries that actually work.

“Boundaries that isn’t enforced is just an imaginary line” that was brilliant! I have a hard time with that because I set them when I’ve had enough but feel guilty saying no when I’m needed by family. Good to watch your video Jeremy always helpful! Needed this one now!

I never did boundaries with my girls. Now they are adults and my life is unkind. I was told today by one of my daughters. “You are not the mother I need”. All because I told her I need time for me. I can help you with my grandkids from 8-2. After 2 I want to do the things I want to do. Read, write…. I’m struggling so much with her.

It annoys my boss and collegues that I have limits. But that's their problem. ☺️

Good topic. I feel like my boundary setting abilities greatly depends on the details and my mood.
