Let's talk about boundaries. The dictionary defines a boundary as a line that marks the limits of an area. So if you equate that to your life, your boundaries are what you limit yourself to for other people or things. Think of it like this, if we are both standing in the sand and I draw a circle around myself, that's my boundary & your access to me resides outside the wall of that circle. I've heard people say that they have bubbles or are in boxes and keep others out of those said circles/boxes. That's one way to utilize boundaries. Another option is not over-extend ones self to other people or things. If you are tired, if you don't have the time, or even if you just don't want to do something, it is ok to say no!

But how does one start? Does one need to have someone to help keep you accountable to put self seriously first? I don't mean things like what to eat, wear etc. but the red flag kind of things or the heart things. You gave good food for thought, thanks for the blog subject.

I think I’ve done these things without even knowing I have created boundaries for myself. Great blog Ashelei!
