Do you set limits and boundaries with potential partners? If you are asking what a boundary is, it defines where we begin and end, and where our partner begins and ends.
When we set boundaries with someone, we make it easier for them to act appropriately with us. Boundaries help them and help us.
Today especially in this new year of 2012, when women and men are confused about what is appropriate and what the other person wants, it is tremendously appropriate to set the boundaries that keep us comfortable in a partnership.
If we need to see a person three times a week, we say that. If we cannot accept personal calls at work, we let an individual know. If we need a little space, we are up front. We make our boundaries count.
And most importantly, we do not expect another person to maintain the boundaries for us. The boundaries we set are ultimately our responsibility.
Today we set limits, maintain the parameters, or re-negotiate the boundaries as necessary. People can take it when we set limits. The reason is that boundary setting is actually a gift that lets another person know what does and does not work for us.
Today as a new year begins, set boundaries with a potential partner and watch the harmony grow in your love relationship. You may be surprised what 2012 brings!
