Having boundaries means that you are able to state and enforce your boundaries. This means that you take care of yourself before you take care of others. Having boundaries is a form of love and respect for yourself.
—
When you know your boundaries but are not able to enforce them, you feel resentful. This is because you are hurting yourself in order to please someone else.
When you do not know your boundaries, you are not able to state them, let alone enforce them. You are hurting yourself without even realizing why. The other person may not even realize what you have been sacrificing.
—
Why do you find it so hard to take care of yourself?
Is it because you do not love and respect yourself enough?
Is someone else more important than you are?
