Today's gallery of posters is a-bout boundaries. They help us live with sanity. They are also neutral.
If others are upset when applying them, it indicates they
wanted outcomes going their way. They were not considering our likes and dislikes, wants or choices.
Often they are not considering mutual-ity, or sensitive to our needs. Expressing our limits allows the good to stay, like our values and needs. Bounda-ries declare what we want.
We are actively asserting who we are.
We are being authentic. We are letting others know the real us. We are also keeping out the bad, what is not acceptable for us, like demeaning behavior or insensitivity from others.
We are speaking our truth, revealing our true colors. Boundaries are psychic skin. They prevent germs of unac-ceptable behavior from infecting us.

Declaring our limits armors us. We are guarding against unhealthy values imposed on us by insensitive others and emo-tional vampires. It is being vigilant. If we don't take care of ourselves, no one else will.
When someone is verbally or emotionally abusive, we say, "I cannot connect with this conversation. I'll talk with you when this conversa-tion has the dignity it deserves." That's a verbal boundary.

When someone is violent we leave that person. The farther away we are, the bet-ter, using a physical boundary---space.
Boundaries define us. They let others know what we accept and what we will have no part of.
Boundaries maintain the peace when relating to narcis-sists. Exercising our stan-dards prevent dominating people from overpowering us, as they do with passive and codependent people. It stops them from steamrolling over our values.Boundaries are the peace-giving and character inducing antidote for passivity.
We are also being genuine, letting others know who we truly are.
