Why  are boundaries necessary?

• For protection and personal security
• To create order
• To define ourselves clearly
• To gain a clearer sense of ourselves in relation to others
• To empower us to determine how we will be treated by others

Maintaining boundaries allows us to gain trust in ourselves to take care of ourselves. It results in a healthy sense of control and overall well-being. How do you plan on creating boundaries in your life today?
