Understand the Boundaries You Need

Your first step to setting boundaries in any aspect of your life is to understand exactly what you need. Britney Blair, PsyD, cofounder of sexual wellness app Lover highly recommends this as a starting point. "The first step in setting healthy boundaries is to recognise what you want and need and work backwards from there," Dr. Blair told POPSUGAR. "For example, you know you need a half hour wind-down time before bed and that time needs to be calming with no stressful or difficult conversation."

Ask yourself what boundaries you want to set with the people in your life, whether it's your friends, your family, your partner, or someone at work. Understanding your needs will help you get on the path to healthier relationships.
