Sometimes we have a very difficult time setting boundaries for ourselves and for others in our lives. Setting your personal boundaries is one thing, but sticking to the boundaries you set is something totally different. Learning to secure the boundaries you set for yourself and the people in your life has to be a priority for you. Your peace of mind, safety, and your way of life is important to you. When you feel that your emotional or physical boundaries have been crossed, it may cause you some unwelcome anxiety. If you tell the people in your life that they have to treat you a specific way, then its up to you to enforce your personal boundary. Sometimes people will test your boundaries intentionally or unintentionally to get a reaction from you. That's why it's important to know that you are in control of you and your boundaries. If people choose to break your boundaries, have the conversation with them and tell them that boundaries must be respected. If boundaries are not respected, then you have to withdraw from being around them or only have conversations about things you are comfortable with. You are totally in charge of setting and securing your boundaries. Start with small boundaries and work your way up to large boundaries to make sure you are enforcing your boundaries. Take your time and you will be fine.
