3 Key Points:

Boundaries bring almost a negative sense to people but it actually promotes otherwise.
Setting up your boundaries don’t mean you’re selfish or you’re angry it’s just putting the line in between what’s okay and what’s not okay for you.
Having healthy boundaries is the way to teach other people to set theirs.
