JAKARTA - In every relationship, whether it's family, friendship, or with a partner, establishing healthy boundaries is important.

Cited from PsychCentral, Wednesday, December 21, having boundaries can help maintain identity and personal space. Having and respecting established boundaries can also show support and respect between us and those with whom we come into contact.

However, pay close attention to how to create these boundaries. Don't create or impose unilateral boundaries in a relationship. Do not impose boundaries that will harm one or both parties. This will boomerang later.

So how do you set healthy boundaries? Here are some ways you can follow to make your relationship healthy.

Communicate Your Feelings

In every relationship, communication is the key to a good and long-lasting relationship. Communicate every emotion you feel, both emotions are good emotions, especially bad emotions. A relationship should make you feel comfortable, not the other way around.

Maintaining Private Space

There are times when we want to be alone. In a relationship, it's okay to ask for time and space for yourself. Communicate reasons well, then our colleagues will understand.

Set Boundaries Early in a Relationship

In every relationship, especially romantic relationships, it's good to set boundaries at the beginning of the relationship. The existence of boundaries will make both parties feel comfortable and have a healthy relationship. What's more, establishing boundaries early in the relationship will be easier for both parties.
