Have you ever had a hard time saying no? Do you say yes to everything that comes to you? Do you worry when you say no to others because you fear disappointing them, making them sad, and hurting their feelings?

The healthiest relationship I have found is one in which two people are open to each other and help each other. They know each other’s priorities and respect each other’s decisions. Even if they do not always agree and say yes to each other.

What is Boundary?

According to wikipedia.org personal boundaries or the act of setting boundaries is a life skill that has been popularized by self-help authors and support groups since the mid-1980s.

It is the practice of openly communicating and asserting personal values as a way to preserve and protect against having them compromised or violated.

The term “boundary” is a metaphor — with in-bounds meaning acceptable and out-of-bounds meaning unacceptable
