Emotional Boundaries - a podcast by Arianna Pienaar

The older I get, the more I appreciate just how critical self-awareness is, particularly during times of uncertainty, and in the face of adversity.

Self awareness in itself, Is a personal responsibility, and forms one of the four pillars of emotional intelligence.

We're not just talking about knowing what pizza is our favourite, or what style jeans fits our bums best, but REALLY knowing ourselves. Really investing in our mental, physical and emotional health, setting firm boundaries, examining our relationships, prioritising the things that bring us joy, making space in our life for self-discovery.

Enter - Boundaries.
EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE SET CLEAR BOUNDARIES
especially when it comes to our emotions within RELATIONSHIPs.
Boundaries are important in all relationships, whether personal, professional, or romantic, because they let others know what you are or are not willing to tolerate, what you will or will not do, and what you expect from others based on the roles of your relationship. by understanding and knowing our own boundaries, we become better communicators, because we ourselves become clear about what is and is not okay, and because we’re clear and firm in our boundary, we can communicate more effectively, which ultimately takes the guess work out from those around us.

the follow-on effect of that is we stop resenting others for not reading our minds and stop resenting ourselves for not communicating sooner. 
When we know our boundaries and make them clear to others, we can be fully present and compassionate.
