Setting boundaries will help...

• Your relationships will improve, people will know how you want to be treated.
• You will feel happier because you are doing things you choose to do.
• Acting out of guilt, obligation or what we think others want takes away our choice and sense of control over our lives.
• You will have more energy if you aren’t doing things you don’t want to do.
• You effectively listen and see other points of view while still respecting your own.
• You practice self-respect by standing your ground.
• You avoid future conflicts and resentment.
• You set reasonable consequences for violating your boundaries.
