Love And Protect Yourself: Set Limits
We all love and each in his own way. We have the power to relate as we wish and it all depends on the attitude we choose. Starting from this choice, we interact with others, with the world and, of course, with ourselves. Among all these forms of love, the most important and which acts as a support to the others is that which concerns ourselves. You have to love and protect yourself.
Depending on the way we treat and respect each other, we will be more or less open to relating to others and to the universe. Loving and taking care of yourself allows for more authentic relationships.
For this purpose, it is important to know each other to know how far we can go, this will affect our relationships. If we know each other, we will enrich our relationships and see the different limits. Let’s deepen to follow the wonderful experience of loving and protecting yourself.
Loving each other allows you to know how far to go
When we love each other, we know how far we are willing to go. We appreciate ourselves so much that we understand that we have limitations. Therefore, we know that:
- We are not perfect. Loving each other means understanding that we are imperfect. So, we realize that we can make mistakes and we don’t feel frustrated about it.
- We don’t try too hard. Loving each other means knowing when to stop. If we try harder than we can, we will end up being worn out and exhausted.
- We can learn from mistakes. Loving oneself also means seeing each mistake as a lesson. We do not drown in anguish, because we know each other and we know that everything that happens to us is still a great experience.
- We let ourselves be surprised. When we say and feel an “I love myself” we live in the here and now. Because we know each other, we know how far we can go and we don’t force the future, nor do we want to keep everything under control. Loving each other means letting the best of yourself flow!
By loving each other, we know each other thoroughly. Thus, we will have clear our emotions and our thoughts, and we can predict how we will react in different situations.
When we connect with a powerful “I love myself”, we can know what is best for us. We make decisions based on this and we understand that whatever happens, however bad or unpleasant, is still a lesson. Furthermore, we do not judge ourselves because we understand that we are not omnipotent, that we do not have everything under our control.
I know when to say: enough is enough!
Loving oneself means valuing oneself to the point of knowing how to establish limits with others. It’s about saying no when we don’t like something and, in this way, building positive relationships. Thus, the people around us will know how far they can go with us, in other words, what bothers us and what they can do.
Loving each other also means saying: enough is enough! It is a way to communicate to others that they are exaggerating. This way we set limits and protect ourselves. However, we can’t always avoid it, because we don’t have control over others, but we can decrease the chances of it happening.
When you love each other, despite being deeply attached to someone, you are still able to say no. And we know how to ban certain situations because we know they can cause us pain. Loving each other, therefore, also means taking into account what can be positive and negative for us.
Benefits of loving and protecting yourself
If you love and protect yourself, you create a more harmonious environment because you get rid of anxieties and are honest with yourself and with others. The best way to enjoy relationships is to show ourselves as we are, know what we want, and convey it effectively. When we set limits, we get several benefits:
- Cast out negative thoughts.
- Get a better quality of life.

By practicing self-love, we fully understand who we are, what we want and where we are headed. This will help us draw boundaries in our attempt to be perfect, when we get frustrated or when things get out of control.
