Establishing Boundaries

If you find yourself having trouble communicating with an individual that crosses boundaries or has a temper when you try to communicate your desires, this might help you create boundaries so that you don’t continue to feel bad or not heard. Here are guidelines for creating and establishing boundaries. I pray this helps.

• Get a piece of paper and write it down, to rehearse or to remember when things get off topic.

• Have in mind what you want to say. What things are important to you like for instance tone of voice, lack of respect, abusive or demeaning words being used that you don’t want to tolerate. 

• If there are parenting issues, keep in mind you are the parent and no one has the right to over step this boundary.

• Do it before anger and bitterness roots in your soul and mind. Proverbs

• Have the conversation despite the fear you feel.

Therefore, believe me, you’ll be happier and content with yourself for speaking up and especially when boundaries are established. Remember as well that you can keep your composure and breathe, take a moment to hear the other person =out and remain calm.
