"Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously"- Prentis Hemphill

Do you find yourself saying "yes" to things and then becoming resentful that you have take on too much? Resentment is information for you. Somewhere along the way, you've given more than you should have. You may need some help defining your boundaries. Boundaries are guidelines, rules or limits that a person creates to identify what are reasonable ways for other people to behave and how they will respond when someone steps outside of those limits. Boundaries are for ourselves and our well being, not to affect or control the behavior of someone else. When there has been a boundary violation, we make a request with a clear consequence. People can do what they want and we respect our boundaries and our emotional heath by following through. Healthy boundaries are a crucial component of self-care. Saying "no" can be a contribution as it can let people know more about your values and needs.
