It's okay to set limits!

I am Mihaela, and this article is addressed to women.

I believe you have also–had întâmplat and ție să–have or setting să certain boundaries ,in your personal and professional, life and personal and . Sometimes and personal you find it hard to să say NO, să your you might feel guilty or not good you enough because you să haven't managed your time your so well to să help so help one asking. haven't cere. 

 However, we live in a period where time is the most precious element, and it can be challenging to find the balance between the desire to earn more money, the wish to help, or the need to have time for yourself. That's why I think it's important to establish certain limits, define your priorities for yourself, and be at peace with them. 

 To be efficient professionally, it's crucial to first take care of your recurring responsibilities and priorities. After that, if you feel you can contribute more, you should take on additional responsibilities. So, if there are moments when you feel you can't take on extra tasks, discuss it with your superior and present your viewpoint. This way, they will have a much better understanding of your limits and will know how to handle such situations in the future. 

 Another boundary that could be helpful for you at the workplace is the one between professional activity and personal life.I've talked a lot in previous newsletters about empathy and getting to know your colleagues, but this acquaintance should be made within the limits set by the other person.  

 Don't try to dive deeper into the personal lives of those around you more than necessary, and don't feel pressured to share personal information with your team members if you're not comfortable with it. It's fine to maintain your discretion when it comes to your personal life and to discuss professional aspects if that's what makes you comfortable. 

 When it comes to discussions, sometimes it can lead to gossip or unconstructive conversations.These often stem from a lot of negative elements and a critical spirit. That's why it's best to try to avoid them. Even though you might come across as somewhat assertive. When you're in a group and a discussion about another person is taking place in their absence, state that you don't wish to participate in such a conversation and ask others to change the subject. I believe this approach is a healthy one, both for you as an individual (because you won't be burdened with negativity) and for the other members of the team, as it allows you to remain transparent and discuss negative aspects pleasantly and constructively at the same time. 

 

What boundaries have you set when it comes to your professional activity?
