Boundaries serve as a means to protect us, to protect us from burnout and to protect us from compromising our values, which in turn allows us to show up as our best selves and to show up for others to our best capacity, which in turn fosters better relationships, better confidence, better self-esteem, which creates a better cycle, a relationship cycle, and that setting and maintaining boundaries takes a lot more work on the front end, but we reap everything exponentially on the back end in the long run when we put in the work to create healthy boundaries.
