The idea that self-esteem develops when you acknowledge and respect these boundaries is the foundation of the notion behind knowing your limits. Pushing yourself past your comfort zone all the time can lead to stress, burnout, and a lowered sense of value in yourself.

Similarly, boundaries set for oneself may need to be adjusted when one enters into new relationships, as family dynamics change, or even as one's self-awareness deepens.
The theory behind sustaining boundaries draws from psychological principles of adaptability and resilience. Adaptability allows individuals to assess their current needs and modify their boundaries accordingly. This flexibility ensures that boundaries remain protective and relevant, rather than rigid and limiting. Resilience, on the other hand, is crucial for maintaining boundaries despite external pressures or internal doubts. It’s about having the strength to uphold one’s boundaries, even when others may not understand or respect them.
