Talks With Nette

There is nothing loving people from a distance. Sometimes you have to do that to protect your peace at all cost. You can love them no less, You have to be strong minded and have enough determination to be able to step back and love them from a distance.

““Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Takeaways: The Power Of Prayer should never be underestimated, God most definitely listens to prayers, answers prayers, and moves in response to prayers, God answers prayer that are in agreement with his Will, His answers are not always Yes, but are always in our best interests.

Join me as I talk about Healthy Boundaries Vs Unhealthy Boundaries. Boundaries can be both healthy and unhealthy. Certain signs can help you distinguish what is a healthy boundary and what is an unhealthy boundary. Takeaways: A few examples of a person exhibiting healthy boundaries include:

Being able to say, "no," and accept when someone else says, "no"

Being able to clearly communicate both wants and needs

Honoring and respecting their own needs and the needs of others

Respecting others' values, beliefs, and opinions, even if they are different from one's own

Feeling free to disclose and share information where appropriate

Though they can be flexible, they do not compromise themselves in an unhealthy way. A few examples of a person exhibiting unhealthy boundaries include:

Having a difficult time saying, "no"

Having trouble accepting "no" from others

Not clearly communicating one's needs and wants

Easily compromising personal values, beliefs, and opinions to satisfy others

Being coercive or manipulative to get others to do something they don't want to do

Oversharing personal information. If you are currently in a relationship where your partner is:

Violating your physical safety

Exerting excessive control of your life

Constantly scaring you

Being hyper-controlling and preventing you from doing reasonable things you'd like to do

Forcing you to do things you don't want to

This behavior is not healthy and may cross the line into abuse. If you or someone you care about is being abused, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text "START" to 88788.

Boundaries can be a thought of as a stop 🛑 sign in a person’s life. It’s okay to set boundaries. You are protecting yourself mentally when you do that. Takeaways: Goal-setting: Ask yourself, what is the goal in setting a boundary or needing to set a boundary?

Start small: Setting boundaries may be uncomfortable. The key is to start small and focus on one thing at a time.

Be clear: Focus on what you want as clearly as possible.

Practice: If thinking about setting a boundary makes you nervous, write out what you want to say beforehand or practice in the mirror.

Keep it simple: This is a time when less is more. Rather than overloading someone with too many details, pick the main thing that is bothering you and focus on that.
