Boundaries - The skill of communicating what is important to you.
I am surprised at how many people I coach and mentor that do not know how to communicate what is important to them.Ā
If you do NOT communicate what is important to you based on āits no big dealā or based on how uncomfortable it makes you feel (shortness of breath or anxiety) - over time, you can fester in this and it accumulates to bitterness and one day you can snap and say or do something you will regret. Suppression is a leading cause of sickness that shows up one way or another physically, mentally and spiritually.Ā
Menā¦.you are supposed to communicate - in a heathy way - of what you value and know is of importance to you, your family, friends, community and church life.Ā
This is not a male/female thing - it is a human thing.Ā
Why you are not setting boundaries now is because you have not been taught how to do so. This is not a sign of being weak or that it is not your deal.Ā
It is.Ā
When you do not lead with setting boundaries you become a victim of your circumstances.
