31 days of self love - day 10
September 22, 2017
I think for me this is less about how I can set better boundaries and more about how I can maintain my boundaries. I am pretty proud of this accomplishment actually. I set some very strong, very restrictive boundaries on myself and contact with people who antagonize me, are dishonest with me, and have no genuine interest in my well-being. I've gone into zero contact and I've maintained that for over a year solid. To a lesser extent, I have used those boundaries with others, keeping those at arm's length who I don't feel a solid trust and connection with, and reminding myself that not everyone in my "friends" list needs to be privy to all my details.
Still, to answer this question I guess right now I could separate home and work better. My job runs 24/7 and I am the sole person running the branch here so texts and phone calls for after-hours issues are common. Usually, I answer them and stop my life to fix it, but I need to start redirecting them to our on-call person and refusing to check my work phone during unpaid hours.
