Thank you! I love the Boundary Statement as a reminder of the limits that I set for others to stay assertive.

Thanks Delia! Writing statements of intention, goals, gratitude and my favorite To Do Lists keep me on track. The Boundary Statement came about as a challenge at the time when my family told me that I kept saying things but would I do it? That was the beginning of finally asserting myself. 🙂 The statement keeps changing as I change as a person but it always reflects my core values and principles which makes it easier to stick to.

Your boundary statement is absolutely fantastic and it’s a great example. Having this written down is very powerful.

Glad you liked the idea of a Boundary Statement, Lisa. Do share yours with us when you complete it.

Respecting other peoples boundaries is the flip side of the coin when it comes to establishing and maintaining one’s own. Looks like you’ve nailed yours, Roslyn. Well done!

You are most welcome, Sarah. More power to your resolve to walk the middle path with your personal boundaries.

More power to you and your resolve to stay true to your personal boundaries, Beverley. In my experience, it is easy to slip off this particular wagon and it is a lifelong journey. Sometimes when we say yes to others and help them to deal with a situation that we ourselves are dealing with, it helps us to strengthen our own resolve to stay on track. Keep being you, Beverley. You are awesome!

Welcome to The Karmic Ally Coaching Experience Blog, Paula. More often than not, health reasons are the turning point when we finally set up personal boundaries as the self-preservation instinct becomes stronger and difficult to ignore. I suggest you create your own Boundary Statement in your own handwriting and keep it in a place where you will see it and remember who comes first. Thank you for your kind comments.
