So...let's talk about it. You know...the "b" word...Boundaries! Setting boundaries is one of the most difficult things for many people to do, especially to those who are close to us. Too often good people are taken advantage of, ran over, or doing things they really don't want to do because they haven't put the necessary boundaries in place. So, for this episode I want to inspire you to just say no!
Boundaries are defined as a line that marks the limit of an area. Far too often we either have no boundaries, don’t know what they are, or constantly let people overstep our boundaries. Now, I get it. Setting boundaries and moreso requiring others to respect them, is not easy. Many feel nervousness and even anxiety at the thought of having to tell someone no. But setting boundaries is not about them, it is about you!
When setting boundaries you have to first know your self and what you want. After you know what you want, you need to put the boundary in place. Lastly, be ready to accept the consequences associated with putting that boundary in place. Boundaries are a necessity. Saying no is a priority. No is a sentence that needs no explanation. So, now what you want, set the boundary and consequence, and watch and see how your life begins to change for the better.
