Do you feel like you’re always giving to others but get little in return? Always giving in but rarely getting your needs met.

#1: You can expect more respect
Respect is a byproduct of good boundaries.
Respect comes in two forms:
#2: You can expect your needs met more often
Often the cause of our complaints about not getting our needs met is because we are not strong advocates. An assertive voice is missing. If you’re not using your voice how will others know what you need from them.
Setting boundaries is being clear with others about:
Here is an example of a couple setting a boundary with friends about a social activity that competes with their need for rest.
“I know you would like for us to attend the event today, but we are exhausted and can really use some down time. We are going to take a pass this time.”
#3: You can expect less drama in your life
People with poor boundaries experience a lot of drama. Chaotic people create drama. Compliant people absorb drama.
Once you set boundaries with chaotic people you will have less drama. You will feel more calm and live in a more peaceful existence.
#4: You can expect more meaningful connections
Boundaries have the opposite effect than one might expect. It actually draws people closer to you! Not the chaotic people. They may cut you off. Or at least you can live within a safe emotional distance from them.
On the other hand, people who respect your boundaries will likely admire you more and enjoy your company.
Spouses who honor your boundaries will show you more respect. It can even increase attraction!
Now it’s your turn
4 benefits that await you. Next blog I will help you learn how to be good at boundary setting.
