This conversation around boundaries is an important one because while boundaries can be challenging to navigate, setting and communicating them is essential for our health, well-being, and even our safety.

Boundaries can:

- Improve our relationships and self-esteem

- Allow us to conserve our emotional energy

- Give us more independance and agency

This sets a foundation for our upcoming Topic Tuesday on Health Relationships in Lockdown on the 31st of August at 7pm. We will be discussing boundaries, communication skills and conflict resolution, with a counsellor, to guide those of you who may be struggling to sustain harmony and connection with family, partners or roommates during lockdown.

I appreciate all of your contributions to this space, and sharing your stories and experiences in regards to setting and maintaining boundaries. I'm sure it will be a conversation that will continue to be pertinent in our lives.
