We are in a series talking ALL about boundaries and how to be a peaceful, joyful person with your YES and your NO, and today is for all of you out there who are asking, “BUT HOW THOUGH?”
Today we are tackling the actual technique of evaluating, processing and enforcing healthy boundaries.

OK, let’s review why we would do the hard work of creating and enforcing boundaries:
Because boundaries gives us the freedom to be responsible for our lives.
28 “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’
- Pay attention to anger, resentment, frustration
- Find a role model
- Practice little no’s first.
- Work on your internal conversation
- Accept other people’s No’s.
