Scriptures Mentioned

My Takeaways
Boundaries protect you and allow you to have even more freedom and joy in a relationship.
Overcommunicate and do not make assumptions about how the other person feels.
There are physical, emotional, and mental boundaries.
Boundaries are meant to facilitate us accomplishing the call of God or the goals that God has established for us in that year.
You are responsible for what God has told you to do.
Everyone has boundaries but not everyone knows where they are.
Discover what your boundaries are and then adjust them.
Two reactions when a boundary is crossed: cringe or anger.
Examine the emotion, is it merited?
Hula hoop analogy – what do you own? You own your heart, your words. You are not responsible for their reaction.
What we think creates emotions.
Quotes Mentioned
“Every yes must be defended by a thousand no’s.”
